As a result of the UI changes in Firefox 8 with the inverted (white) icons, the add-on App Button Clear does not work correctly. Besides being ‘incompatible’, when the add-on is forced to work in Firefox 8, it turns the App (Firefox) button white instead of clear. However, there is a userChrome.css tweak that will make the Firefox button clear (also works if you are using the Moveable Firefox button add-on). Simply add the below lines to your userChrome.css file and restart Firefox [directions]. /* Makes Firefox Button Transparent */ #appmenu-button{ background: transparent !important; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.3) !important; border-top:none!important;…

Updated 03/09/2013: Removed references to now defunct Personas Themes. Updated 11/16/2011: Added info for backup and restore of Greasemonkey and Stylish scripts. Also added new step in the Starting Over section. If you’ve been using the same profile since Firefox 3.6 (or older) you may run into performance issues with newer versions of Firefox. In the case of Firefox 8, some users have reported the browser is very unstable. This can be caused by bad/out-dated extensions and/or a damaged profile. With a new profile you are starting over from scratch with Firefox at its ‘factory default’ settings. However, you can bring…

To update to 1.6b1: Go to Brief on AMO Scroll to the…
A regular on Go Firefox! had been having some issues with Firefox 8 crashing when using Google, specifically when clicking images.

After a little for digging I noticed this version was release on October 26th. However, in the version history section of the AMO page I noticed a version 0.79.1 submitted for review on November 3rd. Now, last check which was on October 26th, the queue…
