Haakon, only the second parameter is necessary now, you just need to replace 3.6 with your version of Firefox.

The screenshot shows BOTH boolean parameters existing in the about:config while the text reads “user needs to append the version of the browser to THE parameter.” Does method 2 require the appended AND unappended booleans or just the appended? Thanks.

All right I have tried to follow your tips to update to 4.0 beta 9 but nothing is working and I cannot undo my changes :(

I installed Firefox 4.0 beta9

I have installed the Nigltly Tester but in the incompatible extensions I only have the uninstall button and even the right click menu offers no option.
I cannot even access the NTT options since the button is not present or anyway i cannot find it.

I have tried editing the config in which I only had
extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6b (weird)

So I created:
extensions.checkCompatibility
extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0.9b (is this the correct sintax btw?).

I set both to true.

After restarting Ffox extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6b disappeared but I still cannot make incompatible extensions work and cannot even remove my entries anymore.

All I have achieved is that Firefox is going crazy eating memory (1400 MB!)

Any help please?

Thanks
