Delicious isn't compatible with FF4 so I guess I'll have to use Chrome for a while:(

I've come to rely on Delicious to manage my bookmarks. Can't do that now, so I"ll have to switch.

You can try this Bookmarks add-on:

The Delicious extension for Firefox doesn't seem to have been updated for Firefox 4.0 yet, but here is a fix that can be done to make it compatible with Firefox 4.0/

From this thread:
http://domino.symetrikdesign.com/2011/03/25/getting-the-delicious-bookmarks-add-on-to-work-with-firefox-4-0/comment-page-1/#comment-5807

I figured out a simple trick to make the Delicious bookmarks Firefox add-on work after upgrading to Firefox 4.0.

This assumes that you previously had the Delicious bookmarks add-on working in Firefox 3.6.x and you have just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 – which disables the add-on and states that it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0

  • Open Firefox
  • Goto “Help” in the Menu, then “Troubleshooting Information”
  • Click on the “Open Containing Folder” button (within the box “Application Basics” on top of the page)
  • Close Firefox
  • Goto into directory “extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”
  • Edit install.rdf and change the following from the first line to the second line 
     em:maxVersion="4.0b3pre" />
     em:maxVersion="4.0.*" />
  • Restart Firefox

Thanks Ed. Can't say I'm any closer to understanding how a programmer's mind works, but it works.

Thanks, Ed, but 2 things - I can't find the {2fa4..... info and when I do click on other options in the directory, I can't change them; it simply opens up and shows me the "document tree" but I can't make any changes. Thanks for the info but I may have to call our tech guy.

Hi there,

In following the instructions above - I can't find the folder you refer to (Goto into directory “extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”) in the extensions folder.

This is because I didn't have delicious buttons installed previously on Firefox 3.6.

Is there a way I can install the buttons on Firefox 4 from scratch?

any help appreciated.

Thanks,
