Ever want to try the new Firefox betas, but don’t want your plugins to stop working?

Here is a workaround taken from this site.

  1. Go to about:config in firefox location bar
  2. Right click in the grid and select New > Boolean
  3. In the popup box, type (or paste) extensions.checkCompatibility
  4. Select false as the value
  5. Restart firefox

That’s it! Your plugins should still be enabled in the new firefox. It would be wise to note that although they are enabled, they may not work correctly. That’s why firefox disables them all by default until they can be checked for compatibility.
