Thanks Stu. I keep coming back to this post for reference. Recently I trying to install Threadkey on Thunderbird (2.*) but couldn’t because of MaxVersion. The install.rdf hack didn’t work but Mr Tech’s Local Install for Thunderbird worked like a charm.

I’m using the local install extension, but it crashes the Fox sometimes, seems like still some bugs are onboard.

Thanks Alastair that sounds like the easiest solution.

You can also use the local install extension, which amougst other things allows you to override the max-version setting on a per-extension basis.
