Why does Mozilla claim that my version 18 is a version 11? (solved)
Curt:
former titel: Mozilla Add-ons: "Not available for Firefox 11". But it's Waterfox 18!
Re-edited for clearer meaning:
Why does Mozilla claim that my version 18 is a version 11?
------------------------------------------------------------
For several months the Mozilla Add-ons site has been telling me that "this addon is not available for Firefox 11", and I have no clue of what is causing it - except that I am running Waterfox version 18, instead of the standard Firefox. I also had the same problem when it was Waterfox 16, (I didn't try version 17).
One might think it could have to do with some add-on/extension, but the problem is still there when I surf in safe mode!
Does any of you Waterfox users have the same problem?
Any idea on how to set this right (except from installing the normal Firefox)?
:tellme:
Paul Keith:
I have not used Waterfox but try these other methods but the most common method for FF add-ons as mentioned here is to disable add-on compatibility. Simplest being installing nightly testers tool: http://www.reddit.com/r/Enhancement/comments/qzn8v/is_there_an_easy_way_to_modify_the_xpi_to_use_in/
There's also this:
Go to about:config then search for extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false.

and this:
Rename XPI to ZIP
Extract
Edit one of the files to change compatibility settings (I think its one of the few in the root folder from memory)
Rezip
Rename to XPI
Load
Find an addon that is compatible, and look at their files to figure it out if you're still having trouble. It's been a while since I was working with XPI files, but I used to have to do this in order to make the addon we were developing work with Firefox beta browsers.

Curt:
The Nightly Tester Tool is fine :up: and has been enabled for maybe a year (and Compatibility Check disabled).
But you're right, I should both have spoken more clearly and told some more, before posting. Also, I should point out that when Firefox is in "safe mode", all addons are disabled - meaning that I #imagine# that the addons not are responsible for the problem. But of course I don't know.
the problem is still there when I surf in safe mode!-Curt (January 29, 2013, 01:32 AM)

I have a similar problem with Pale Moon. Can't use newest Firebug because it heavily relies on "new" Firefox versions. Bah.
