    Okay… Your Favorite Plugin Not Working?
    Here Is a Work-Around to make your favorite plugin work

    Just to let you know, I thought of this up myself when I was bored.. lol

    Here Are My Plugins That Didn’t Work For Firefox 3.0.1

    OneClick Installer – Plugin for Wordpress, Allows you to upload files, without ftp. I use it on this blog (www.ageniusblog.com)
    Autocopy – copies text when typing a hotkey eg A

    Here Are The Steps:

    {1} Okay First Things First, Download & Install WinRAR.

    {2] Go To the Plugin Download Page

    {3} Where It Says “Add To Firefox” Right Click, Save Link as, Save anywhere

    {4} Go to the directory where you saved the file, Double Click, And Click Choose Program (If You already have a program assosiated with this extension, Right click, Open with)

    {5} Of Course, you must click WinRAR to open the files with, unless you are retarded

    {6} Look for install.rdf, click it, and click “extract to” and give a directory to extract to

    {7} Open install.rdf in notepad of wordpad, and look for something like this:

    <em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion>
    <em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion>

    {8} Change  <em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion> to  <em:maxVersion>3.0.1.*</em:maxVersion>

    {9} You Are Nearly Done!  Open the firefox addon that you downloaded earlier, and drag install.rtf (modified one) to WinRAR

    {10} Close WinRAR, right Click On The Addon, Open with -> Firefox

    You Are Done!

    PS* Sorry For the Advertising Of my Pics lol! I have had many articles stolen off my websites before and plus, this is an Original
