Why Has Too Many Tabs Been Suddenly Removed?

Firefox and add ons have been working fine. Following a crash I am now informed that Too Many Tabs 1.3.6 is not compatible with Firefox 3.6.18 . I don't want to upgrade because, usually, numerous add ons fail to work with upgrades and an upgrade tends to be a retrograde step as regards add ons. Firefox usually issues new versions prematurely, and tends to put the cart before the horse as regards add ons. They can't patiently wait until add ons are ready and compatible.

I can't see why there would be a problem. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing Too Many Tabs? If you have continuing problems you should get in touch with the developer.

Waiting for add-on developers would take forever and a day. The worst culprits are the toolbars of big commercial operations who have many months notice of version changes. And often the changes required are truly minor. I manage very well with no third party toolbars.

My extensions have not needed updating for weeks. If you have an extension that is lagging there are often better alternatives, certainly better maintained. Too Many Toolbars doesn't seem to be a culprit.

Sorry for the lecture. I have no connections with Firefox except as a happy user.

Thanks for your reply. I won't thank you for the lecture. You manage very well with no third party toolbars. I don't.

Hi, One suggestion in your mail was to contact the developer, and that turned out to be useful advice. I now have version 1.3.7 working and I am delighted to have Too Many Tabs working again. Thanks for your help.
