Neopets toolbar not compatible on Firefox 2.0? Solved!

[Guest DX's Birfday! - 7 Nov&#3]

Q: Um, I use Firefox 2.0 and it's not compatible yet! What shall I do?

 

What you can do is open the configuration (about:config) in your Firefox browser, right click the list and create a boolean extensions.checkCompatibility option there. Set its value to false and restart the browser. All done!

This will apply to all incompatible add-ons you have, not only the NT.

oh rigth cool, i think i grown not to use it now, hehe, but if i ever choose to use it i shall try this

[Guest Trace]

I have been using my toolbar since October on Firefox, and it has been working fine. I don't see a reason for this.

[Awesome_Paul]

but Trace has you updated to firefox v2, it runs on v1 but for some reason doesn't on v2

[Guest Trace]

There's a V2? I thought that was still in Beta testing.

[Awesome_Paul]

[Guest Trace]

I'll stick with V1.5 for now.

[MOPGhost]

How do you get V1?

[Guest Trace]

I already got it, I have been using it long before v2 was even in beta testing.

How do you open the configuration?

[Guest Trace]

Just type it in the address bar, you know where you put the website?

[MOPGhost]

It's still not working.... Oh well. I lived about a year knowing the toolbar is not working.

[Guest Trace]

Do you have Firefox? That is kind of important

[MOPGhost]

Of coruse I have firefox.

[Guest Trace]

Firefox v2?

 

All you need to do is add about:config to the address bar, add nothing else.

 

Edit:

Ok, I tried FF v2 and it SUCKS!

I am glad Mozilla still offers V1.5.

DON'T GET V2!

If you already have it, get rid of it and download V1.5

 

V1.5 FOREVER!

Stay with yours, 'cos I'll stay with mine. Firefox 2.0 is a great improvement.

If you don't like the new GUI (which I think is really cool), Firefox has the old theme available for download. GET V2, it has lots of additional security features. It's like upgrading from IE 6 to 7. IE7 is much better than IE 6, but Firefox will always pwn all.

 

"Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2." - You have a countdown to change.

[Fuzio]

V2 sucks? I have to strongly disagree.

Help! I tried everything you said I restarted my browser(I even restarted my pc) but the Neopets toolbar dosnt show up! can you help me? Oh and do I have to download the neopets toolbar before following the steps or do I have to do the steps then download the neopets toolbar?

[Mira]

Poor mac users, we never get to use these kinds of things.

That shouldn't matter. Once its downloaded, and installed, it should appear under View -> Toolbars.

 

TDN supports firefox. :) (Not just because we get money for advertising them, oh no).

 

It's a much better browser than IE, with very few viruses found that can get into it; it should load faster, and it's generally just a more secure, safer option. www.getfirefox.com . If you have it, upgrade to Firefox 2; it's even more safe, and has patches etc that are necessary. And, to be honest, I think it has a nicer GUI; but there we go, more themes are downloadble.

 

Oh, and what's your source for this, HBK? I know you're not a coder, and I'd like to add this to the site, but we need a source ;)

I tried that I cant find it

[Samuel]

Once downloaded from toolbar.neopets.com, you need to find where you downloaded it to, and install it. :) Then it should appear when you restart FF.

Contact me please, I will give all details.

 

Oh, and for those whose toolbar doesn't appear, you've got to install 1.5, install the toolbar, uninstall 1.5, install 2.0, do the steps above and it should work.

[Parshy]

i cant find the config thing :(

[Eric]

You don't find it, per se. You just type "about:config" (without the quotation marks) into the address bar (where you normally type website addresses into. :)
