You have to see it from this perspective, the add-on was NOT compatible before the tester tool, then once you utilized the tool even if it is a forced compatibility you're then able to use it.

This does NOT make the extensions compatible. It makes Firefox ignore the fact that the extension isn't meant to be compatible with that version of Firefox. It might turn out that the extension is compatible and just needs to have its version string updated. It's just as likely that it'll turn out that you need to rewrite half the extension to make it compatible. It's like forcing Vista to try to install a program for Windows 95. Hey, it might work. It might also give you a blue screen of death. The title is wrong.

While the nightly tester tools and the about:config entry can allow a non-compatible extension to install, it is by no means a guarantee that the extension or theme will work as expected. The reason for this is because the theme and extension APIs change with each version of Firefox. Extensions and themes have a block of code in their installers that specifies what versions of Firefox they have been certified for by their author (minimum version and maximum version). If you do decide to use a theme or extension that is not yet certified for your version of Firefox and it does not work as expected, please remember that the author has not certified it for that version of Firefox. Take that into consideration when contacting the author to report the bug. I've had several users email me over the years, irate that an extension or theme did not work as expected on a version it had not yet been certified.

Though once you install this plugin you never have to install it or deal with it again. Both ways are simple, however its just a matter of which one is simpler for the individual to deal with. :) Thank you for your comment Charax!

I've been using this for months to get old extensions to work with the latest beta until a compatible version comes out and you don't have to install all the nightly tester tools to do it. the simplest way is usually the best - adding one boolean variable to about:config is better than installing a whole suite of functions just for the one you want.
