Making Delicious plugin work with Firefox 4
I love my Firefox 4, but I had one little problem since upgrading – my Delicious plugin stopped working. Since Delicious team is slow with releasing updates, here is the list of steps to fix the problem:
- From the menus select Help > Troubleshooting information
- On this new tab, near the top, you’ll see a field called Profile Directory. Click the button in the field to launch Explorer for Windows or Finder if you’re using OSX.
- In the window which has popped up navigate to the extensions folder. Inside that should be another folder named “{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”. Inside this is a file called install.rdf
- Open install.pdf in any plain text editor.
- Around line 8 you should see some XML which looks like this:
em:maxVersion="4.0b3pre" /> - Update this to
em:maxVersion="4.0" />(See we removed the b3pre bit?) - Save the file and restart Firefox.
- The delicious extension will now work.

thanks mate. I know they’re selling Delicious, but they could have made this tiny change don’t you think? Would not have taken a great deal of work. I’ll be changing my max. version to 999 or something I think, since already on 4.0.1! For me, slightly buggy (in non-critical function) is way better than totally absent.

I think they should’ve had done that!
I’m doing the same – just incrementing versions. It had been great do far, no issues or crashes.
