Yippee! Snapper in Firefox 2.0

As you know I couldn’t figure out how to get Snapper to work on Firefox 2.0 - well, I found a comment on the Snapper Add-on page that helped me install Snapper on Firefox 2.0 - now I have all of the extensions I want.

1. Right-click on the install link and select SAVE LINK AS.
2. Open the file with winzip or wirar and open the file install.rdf.
3. Change the maxVersion to 2.0.* an save.
4. Install. (might need to right click and OPEN WITH Firefox).

    Just a tip: if you can’t get it to open using open with… (as my computer is fickle like that), you can drag and drop the .xpi file into your Tools>Addons>Extensions window.

    I have a little problem call me stupid, but when I open the rdf file in winrar, it only allows me to view not edit…

    I’m sorry - I’m not sure how to help - I did this so long ago and it worked for me.
