Feedback on Firefox 2.0 Beta - UPDATED
This is a follow-up to my original post about Firefox 2.0 Beta 2. I decided not to update that post since this post will have quite a bit of information and is basically a separate topic.
After installing the beta and discovering that most of my extensions weren’t compatible, I installed the Nightly Tester Tools extension to make them all compatible. Bad idea. Now, I can only use the beta of Firefox for about 30 minutes, where it will crash on a random action on a random page. I’m certain that one of my extensions is causing the problem, opposed to the browser itself. However, I can not undo the action of clicking the “make all compatible” button that the NTT extension put on my Add-ons window.
So, my first trip is to the mozillazine forums, where I found this post asking for feedback on the beta. I’ve posted a reply to that post and am currently waiting for feedback on my issue. Until then, I’m back to using Firefox 1.5. 
UPDATE: Thanks to a helpful person on the mozillazine forums, I’m back using Beta 2. This reply to the above forum topic explains that all I needed to do was delete the extensions.rdf file in the extensions folder of my profile. After doing that, all of my incompatible extensions were disabled. Now my only job is to enable them one at a time until a culprit is discovered.
