If you are like me, you probably have a ton of extentions and now that you have updated to FireFox V1.0 official release, a number of the extentions are disabled and no updates are availabe.  I have too many I use regularly to live without for while they are being updated and I would like to chance them being able to work with the current version.

BEFORE you upgrade, AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can set the "extensions.disabledObsolete" item in the cofig to false.  This may keep all your extentions but that does not mean they will all work.  You change this setting by going to the URL "about:config" and locate it in the list then double click on it to change it to false.

If you do not know this before you upgraded and your extentions are already disabled, you can try setting the above setting and then enable each one again in the Tools/Extentions option in FireFox (right click on the extention and select enable).

Another method if you wish to risk it is to modify the extention configuration file that will allow you to use them.  Look in the Documents and Settings folder on your primary drive.  Find the directory for your current window sign on profile and open the "Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles" folder (or whatever FireFox profile you use).  You will have some folder under that with a ".default" at the end, open that folder and then the "extentions" folder in it.

(As a shortcut, you might try the windows "Search" command and find the file "extensions.rdf" and locate choose the one in your correct profile)

You should no see a file called "extensions.rdf".  Open this file with WordPad.  

On the extentions you wish to use that are outdated and may not be compatible with the current version, locate all the "em:maxVersion=" entries for the outdated extentions you want to use and change them to "1.0".  While you are in there you might as well change the 'em:disabled="true"' to 'em:disabled="false"'.

Make sure you close all running FireFox windows and then save the changes.  When you reboot they should be enabled again.  

Now that you have your extentions running, you might find problems or some extentions may not behave as they should.  You can always go into the extention window and FireFox and disable they ones you think are causing the problems.
