Firefox 3.5 is out, and there are some new tweaks I like to have for it.

Disable add-on version checking to enable add-ons which are not compatible with Firefox 3.5:

1. Go to about:config
2. Right click, select New > Boolean and enter extensions.checkCompatibility as the name.
3. Set value to False

This allows you to carry on using extensions while the authors update them. Things may go wrong so be careful using this setting. You can still see which extensions have not been updated in the Add-ons Manager as they have an exclamation mark on their icon.

To disable the tab drop-down and the new tab button, add this to userChrome.css:

.tabs-container .tabs-newtab-button,
.tabs-alltabs-button
{display: none !important;}
