Force Firefox extensions to work in the latest version
Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.
Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages aliveāand it's interesting to see how I've changed.

, the ID of Firefox, then make note of the highest version the extension's self-proclaimed max-version field can be out of date. You can change it yourself, but at your own risk.
