  • @YourFace180 It probably was actually incompatible

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

  • I Have An Un related Question, what did you use to record this?

  • Umm, this does not work for me, i have followed your steps and and it has installed, but there is no image next to it and it is not working.

  • I have a problem, i don't have Zip files, i have WinRAR Zip Archive, so when i add .xpi it just saves as xpi.ZiP

  • So you're telling us that most addons lose compatibility after updates because the author limits when their addon is compatible? I mean, I am seeing this works, and it's just stunning. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt here and assume that there's an SDK for FF addons that does the automatic limiting itself to whatever the current version is that FF chooses.

  • Did you know you can write steps out for a tutorial on a webpage? It works better than making a video of it and uploading it to YouTube.

  • ya i just tried that i almost messed up my browser or comp or something

    (i don't consider myself as a computer expert)
