go to options > Nightly Tester Tool > Force Addon Compatibility


method 2


- Type about:config in Firefox address bar and press Enter.
- It'll ask for confirmation, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!" button.
- right-click anywhere and select "New", then "Boolean".
- Give it name: extensions.checkCompatibility.9.0 (or 10.0, 11.0, etc...depending the version using)
- set the value to false.

Very helpful you can also install Add-on Compatibility Reporter allows you to disable compatibility checking and allows you to report add-ons that still work or don't work to Mozilla and the Add-on developers.

Thanks.

All of my addons are compatible so no need for these. Good share though.

I know its a last year ago thread, just to add another method of force addon compatibility that doesn't need a restart.
