The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is app.extensions.version.

This article describes the preference app.extensions.version. To add, delete, or modify this preference, you will need to edit your configuration — do not edit this article.

Background

This preference allows for an override of the version number used when checking extension compatibility. As of Firefox 2.0b1, this preference has been replaced by extensions.checkCompatibility.

Possible values and their effects

A numeric version number (ex: 1.4.1). By default it is not defined, and extension compatibility checks uses the true application version number.

Caveats

  • This preference does not exist by default.
  • Installing an extension marked as incompatible with your application may cause your application to misfunction.

Previous effects

This preference used to be the source of the version number rather than an override.
