I have upgraded to the latest firefox 4.01 which means I can now longer use delicious with it. How can I downgrade so that I can continue to use delicious bookmarking on my iMac?
I use Delicious to keep track off my bookmarks and need to access them via the sidebar plug in that came with the version of Firefox before 4.01. With the upgrade this is no longer possible so now I want to downgrade to the version I had before that was compatible with the delicious add-on. Please explain how I can do this?

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/

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
