mask.of.sanity writes "Thanks to a fix that allows old add-ons to work with Firefox 3.0, you can have your cake and eat it too.
The new version of the open source browser is better-looking, uses less memory, and feels snappier all around, but there are few extensions that work with it, and many that are filled with bugs. The fix, which requires a little boolean creativity, great for anyone not afraid of taking risks. The idea is to stop Firefox checking it's version history, allowing defunct extensions to work. I had to pay a visit to safe mode after I didn't check the version numbers, evidently too keen to get my coloured tabs back.
Those that don't jump the gun and get the fix working will have to remove the code from the prefs.js file once the stable Firefox comes out, but will enjoy their cake in the meantime." Link to Original Source
