We all know that most addons work on newer versions of FF.
One just have to unpack, change the max. FF version number, repack, and install.

Problem is, the FF addons website (trying to be smart :) ) gets your FF version and plain won't let you get the damn file!

So, how do you download a 'for a previous version of FF' firefox addon?
Thanks

urlwolf:
btw, the addon I want is this ;)

urlwolf:
never mind, happened to have FF 3.0.7 somewhere :) Sorry about the silliness.

Well in case you're wondering - in FF3.5 you can scroll down to the 'Release Notes' section and click on the latest version - then shows a list of all versions with "Add to Firefox" links against each.

Also if you enter about:config, you can set preference extensions.checkCompatibility to false and then won't need to unpack/repack etc. (if the preference doesn't exist you need to create it)..

I find it easier to download a FF addon with a non-firefox browser
