That's a poor coding job on the extensions' creator part. It's as simple as 2.0.0.*. Why do they want to tie up an extension to an specific build is beyond my comprehension, as the API don't change between point updates. So silly...

lanux128:
i've been running Fx 2.0.0.4 for a couple of hours now and so far everything has been smooth and i *only* had to edit two of the extensions to work with the new version.. :Thmbsup:

Mr. Tech Local Install (extension) adds a choice to the extension manager's right click menu to override version incompatibility, making it unnecessary to edit old extensions.

lanux128:
this setting can also be enabled via about:config with an entry called "extensions.checkCompatibility" but i prefer manual editing as it is more useful when determining which extensions are not updated by default.. :)
