I'm in an area where I can only use dial up.Right now, I use Firefox version 3.6 and have no problems with SlipStream. SlipStream is an accelerator for dial up.I want to update to 8.0.1,but it doesn't appear to be compatible with SlipStream. My local tech support (Pennswoods) doesn't think it's compatible. The existing plugin doesn't work. Any ideas what I can use? Thank you for any info. (I'm not real great with computers)

Sorry, you are stuck with whatever version of Slipstream that your ISP has available. They should know which versions of Firefox are supported by their accelerator plugin, because your ISP is more than likely paying Slipstream for every update that is necessary.
Have you asked your ISP which versions of Firefox are supported by their accelerator plugin?

Beyond that, the only thing that I can suggest is to see if the Addon Compatibility Reporter extension forces that accelerator plugin work in Firefox 8, with the compatibility override. But, if that plugin hasn't been updated for a Firefox 4+ version at all, I doubt if it will work even with the ACR addon.

Version 3.6 is supported by Slipstream. I will contact them and see when they plan on doing any updates. Thank you for your help!
