Disabling Add-on Compatibility Check

Date: July 29, 2015
Author: ElGuru
Comments: 0 Comments
Categories: Browsers

I recently updated the How-To: Forcing Add-ons To Work article. The add-on which originally was referenced in that article no longer works. I have since found a replacement, Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks. Like the former add-on, no restart is needed upon installation.
