Re: FireFox 10.0
There appears to be little for end users to get excited about - improved handling of compatibility of add-ons appears to be the most significant bit. There are some new features for developers, but it'll probably be a while before the results become visible to the public.
Best wishes,
Hans

The only add-on that complained was Google Toolbar, that I "fudged" with the edit of the install.rdf file. Bumped it up to version 12 for now.

Re: FireFox 10.0
Google Toolbar has been discontinued for quite a while, editing install.rdf will allow you to keep it running but the toolbar may not fully work. Some features may already not work and as time goes on more features are likely to fail and may cause problems with Firefox. I recommend uninstalling it.viking33 wrote:The only add-on that complained was Google Toolbar, that I "fudged" with the edit of the install.rdf file. Bumped it up to version 12 for now.

Thus far, It appears to be working OK, for what I want it to do, anyway.TonyE wrote:Google Toolbar has been discontinued for quite a while, editing install.rdf will allow you to keep it running but the toolbar may not fully work.

What is the alternative for Google TB now? Or is there one?

Re: FireFox 10.0
It depends what you use the Google Toolbar for. Mozilla have a knowledge base article that gives alternatives for various GTB features - Google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefoxviking33 wrote:What is the alternative for Google TB now? Or is there one?
