I have Firefox 8.0.1 and really need the 'web devloper' addon. when trying to download it, it says it isn't for Firefox 8.0.1.

Is there an updated 'web developer' for vs 8.0.1?

If I uninstall vs 8.0.1 and download an older version, will I lose my bookmarks, etc?

Thank you,

Don't download the extension, but install it directly from the add-ons page.
That allows Firefox to do a compatibility check and install the extension.
That is needed because the install.rdf file has a maxVersion of 4.0.* and won't install without a compatibility update.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried and the add on from the add ons page, but it still said it was incompatible with 8.0.01. Any other ideas?

Checking for updates doesn't seem to be working at this moment.
I did some testing and I do not see a response.

You can download the extension and edit the file install.rdf in the XPI file (ZIP archive) and change the maxVersion to 9.0 or more.
