Many people have firefox extensions they can’t live without. And some are incompatible with firefox 2.0. The funny part is that most extensions work with firefox 2.0, here’s how to do it:
Many Firefox extensions help you to enhance your web design and speed up pages while downloading from the web hosting provider. Use this time to research domain names and evaluate seo popularity based on other domain names in the pay per click system at Google.

Disclaimer: This might not work with all extensions. I use firefox with only one extension(CSS viewer). This did not work with 2.0 but after doing this, it worked. A lot of other extensions worked to.

1. Back up your stuff: Things can go wrong. Though it’s not likely, there is a small chance the extension can mess things up.
2. Find the download page for the extension you want.
3. Right click the install link and click “save link as” and save it somewhere you can find it.
4. Open the file with an archiving utility like winrar/winzip or tar.
5. Extract all the files.
6. Open the install.rdf. and look for a section that looks like this - the (=< and )=>
   (em:minVersion)1.0(/em:minVersion)
   (em:maxVersion)1.5.0.*(/em:maxVersion)
7. Change it to this
   (/em:minVersion)1.0(/em:minVersion)
   (/em:maxVersion)2.0(/em:maxVersion)
   (I can’t use angle brackets as firefox reads it as html)
8. Save it and zip the entire folder again, with the install.rdf and manifest in the root directory. Save the file as .xpi file.
9. Drag and drop this new xpi file into firefox, and install it when the prompt comes.
10. Enjoy, hopefully.
