Final beta of Firefox 3 available now

just hack adblock

I've got adblock 0.5.3.043 running fine on 3.0b5.

You work on the .xpi extension file:

1. rename the .xpi file to .zip

2. open the .zip file and edit the install.rdf file, with the FireFox section edited to look like:

<!-- FireFox -->

<em:targetApplication>

<Description>

<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>

<em:minVersion>0.7</em:minVersion>

<em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion>

</Description>

</em:targetApplication>

3.Save install.rdf and close the .zip file

4. rename the .zip back to adblock-0.5.3.043.xpi

5. Go to FireFox 3 and do File | Open file to locate the edited file and install adblock.
