Get your Firefox extensions working in v2

So Firefox 2 is now officially out but many extensions are still incompatible with the latest version so here is a quick guide to get them working again.

*This will not work on all extensions*
1. Download and save the extension to your desktop
2. Open the file with WinRar
3. Extract the install.rdf onto your desktop
4. Open install.rdf with notepad and find ‘em:maxVersion.’ (Ctrl+F) change the value to “2.0 or 2.1.”
5. Save the file and drag install.rdf back into WinRar (If prompted to overwrite click yes)
6. Open Firefox > Tools > Add-ons and drag the extension into the window – The extension will be installed.
