Firefox 4 and 5

DavidB

I just installed Firefox 5 today and I also have 4 on my computer. Now when I open 4, I get an Incompatible Add-ons dialog box, "The following add-ons are not compatible with this version of Firefox and have been disabled: 1Password extension for Firefox 5 3.6.0." When I click "Check now" for compatible versions, I get a "No Compatible Add-ons Found" dialog box with the message, "Some problems were encountered when trying to find updates." Then I click "Done" and everything seems fine.



If I subsequently open Firefox 5, though, I have to go through the same routine, only this time it says that the 1Password extension for Firefox 4 3.6.0 is not compatible.



Then if I later open Firefox 4 again, I get the same message as in the beginning.



I didn't have this problem before with Firefox 3 and 4.



Any way around this?



Thank you,



David

Thanks for asking about this, DavidB.



At the moment, this is a known issue. We are looking at ways to resolve this, but I don't have a time frame right now. You might consider [url="http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles"]using separate Firefox profiles[/url] (which is probably not a bad idea anyway) if you need to run two different versions of Firefox on the same machine.



If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.



Cheers,

DavidB

Sounds great, and thanks for the tip about the separate profiles.
