Firefox Add-ons Incompatibility Issues

[SD Nihil]

When Firefox updated to version 3.5 the following add-ons no longer work. I've checked for compatible versions, but there are none. Do you know of other add-ons that do the same as these:

 

Keyscrambler 2.2.0: encrypts your keystrokes on pages such as when you are typing a password. Some sites have the yellow url bar letting you know the info you send will be encrypted like for password or financial information, but it doesn't encrypt your keystrokes which onlooking hackers that intercept packets can see. So this takes care of that.

 

Microsoft.Net Framework Assistant 1.0

 

Realplayer Browser Record Plug-in 1.0

 

AdvertisingCookie Opt Out 1.0

 

Thanks

I dont fancy your chances SD.

 

Ive switched off autoupdate for FF until the extensions have time to catch up

 

Beware the curse of ye early adopter !

you could try the Nightly Tester Tools to override the compatibility check.

Nice work Bill! Totally forgot about that.

 

Give it a go SD. It works in many instances, but not every single one of course if you want things to stay rock solid...stay with the previous version

All of the ones that I use are already up-to-date.

That's pretty lucky. I use 18 extensions Ive just checked the incompatibility list - its only 2 that are incompatibile, that I can manage without in the short term.. (eg. the .net compatibility thingy)

 

For anyone that wanst to check their addons compatibility for 3.5

 

>>> In the firefox menu >> Help >> check for updates

nb. under Tools>Options>advanced>Update you should have 'warn me if thsi disabels add ons' checked (this usually is on by default)

 

Here's Mike Beltzner from Mozilla giving a quick tour of 3.5

 

longstoryshort:

*quicker

*many ways of hiding what porn sites you are travelling to

*in built video player for the open video format

*support for downloadable fonts, CSS, JSON and other junk

 

(This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)

Thanks guys. Another question. In my e-mail how do you get rid of those > than signs that get into e-mail messags rather than having to edit the e-mail? Also, is there some kind of Firefox add-on or something that can translate pages into english? I did a search through the add-ons on firefox.com for such an item. But all i seeem to find are ones that are either out of date, or ones that require you to copy and pate the text into a translator. How time consuming and tedous that would be to have to each page copy the text. Is there some way to make it so all pags are translated on a site? I did try the translate button link for a search result in google for sites that are not in english. But all it does is translates that one page. After you go to the next page it goes back to normal where the pages after that one page are not translated. So like I said I'd like for there to be some that all the pages of a site can be translated.

 

Finally, last night I saw on National Geographic a show called Living in Space Living on the Moon. I tried to search for a video or parts of the show on google and blackle.com, but I can't seem to find it. It had to do with the Constellation program and all the missions of colonizing the moon by 2050 and beyond. It was so interesting, but I cannot find it. Would you know? I know that isn't quite a tech question, but just asking.

 

Thanks again.

Astro along with the questions in the post before this one I have another. I know that for .zip, .rar, and .7z files that to extract all 3 of those types you should get 7-Zip which I have. I hear it can extract other types too. But recently I downloaded a game mod that was in .ace format. I tried extracting it with 7-Zip, but that didn't work. So I concluded that 7-Zip must not be able to extract .ace files. I let windows do a search for what programs can extrac .ace files and it came up with WinRAR and WinAce. Should I get one or the other or is there something better to get.

 

 

Meaning if 7-Zip can deal with a multitude of different archived file types is there another program better than 7-Zip that can extract what 7-Zip can extract and deal with .ace files, or should I just go with the windows suggested WinRAR or WinAce?

 

And I would still like to find a way to prevent messages that are forwarded or sent from having cell or > symbols in them. I'm not sure why it happens, but simply editing the message before sending it can be tedious and time consuming. Do you know of a better way or something that can fix this problem?

 

And speaking of tedious and time consuming I do know of those Firefox add-on translators that can translate other languages on sites to English. But the ones I saw require you to copy and paste the text to be translated, or simply use the Google translate button on a search result. Using that function of Google only translates that first page, but not the others. And as before copying and pasting text to translate can be tedious and time consuming as well. If there were only a program or something that can translate pages as soon as you go to them for all pages of a site without a bunch of copying and pasting. Is there such a solution?

 

Thanks again.
