You can download version 1.3.4 beta, which supports Firefox 3.0

For everyone who is missing his favourite plugins - there is a workaround for version check and in some cases it may work fine. However it might be somehow risky, so before doing it, it's better to do a backup.

Extension XPI's are (ZIP) archives, so they can be renamed to .zip and the files can be unpacked. There is a "install.rdf" file and it contains a key

Code:

em:maxVersion>X.X</em:maxVersion>

where X.X (or similar) is maximum Firefox version number this extension will work with. This key can be changed to 3.0 (or more) to provide FF3 support.
After doing so, the files should be zipped, and .zip file renamed back to .xpi.

But be warned! - You are doing it on your own risk

I've "fooled" two of my extensions, while I'm waiting for their Firefox3 upgrades and they seem to be working fine so far.
