TabmixPlus and Firefox 3.01

I don’t know about you, but my favorite firefox plugin for the ages has been TabMixPlus. Recently(past 24 hours) firefox released a new update, and upon loading it said that the TabmixPlus addon will no longer work with Firefox 3.01.

I quickly went to google to find me a solution. I found the solution over at the plugin’s forum, however I thought I’d repost it here to make it easy for you to fix it.

There’s actually two ways you can fix it. First off you can just install my updated program – if you trust me, I’m in no way affiliated with the plug-in makers, and I make absolutely no claims here, but it worked for me, or you can follow my steps to modify the plugin yourself.

To download my updated version click here.

And here are the steps for doing it yourself. Please note you will need winrar to perform this upgrade.

1. Download the original plugin – save it to your desktop.
2. Right Click on the file. Choose open with if available, or just ‘open’, and open it with WinRar.
3. Drag the ‘install.rdf’ to the desktop, right click on it, and choose open with notepad, textpad, or any text editor that you prefer.
4. Next you’re going to want to find the line that says: em:maxVersion=”3.0″
5. Change the 3.0 to a higher number, 4.0 will work until firefox 4.0 comes out, or you could just change it to 3.01 if you prefer.
   
6. Save the ‘install.rdf’ file. Drag it back into the winrar window overwriting the existing file.
7. Close the winrar window. Drag the xpi file into the firefox window, install it and enjoy!

Please leave a comment if this helped, if it didn’t help – also let me know and I will try to find another fix for ya.
