Re: [PCWorks] Where can I get the "JumpLink" extension for FireFox 2.x?

FWIW in <http://windowssecrets.com/comp/080619> the following 
hack was offered for getting older versions of add-ons to work 
with Firefox 3:

"Make your add-ons toe the line. The most popular add-ons for 
Firefox 2 work fine with version 3. Still, if one of your add-
ons acts up, you can instruct Firefox to stop checking the 
compatibility and security of all your add-ons.

Naturally, doing so could put your system at risk. But if you're 
desperate to make an add-on work, try this change at your own 
risk.

Right-click anywhere in the about:config list of settings and 
choose New, Boolean. When prompted, type 
extensions.checkCompatibility and press Enter. At the second 
prompt, select false and press Enter.

Now right-click in the list and choose New, Boolean again. Type 
extensions.checkUpdateSecurity when prompted and press Enter. 
Select false at the next prompt and press Enter."
