    I for one constantly check the weather, and in my profession weather means everything. So I was a little annoyed when my ForecastFox plugin did not work with the new 2.0b2. Well here is the all mighty trick to update your current browser with updated weather info from Accuweather.com

    "I found this work around when reading the comments for greasemonkey...so thank that person. Manually download the extension (save as). Then rename the xpi file to a zip file. Open the zip file and extract the rdf file. Edit the rdf file (I used notepad, kinda convoluted but works) where the max version for firefox is changed from 2b1 to 2b2. Save the file, and place it back into the zip. Rename zip back to xpi. Open the xpi file with firefox, and install extension. I got it to work with 2b2. Enjoy."
