HowTo enable ElasticFox or Elasticfox-ec2tag in Firefox5

The loss of this plugin kept me at Firefox 4 for about 1.5 months now.
I live and work in the cloud and cannot be without my beloved Elasticfox*.

Today, I have enabled this "incompatible" add-on in Firefox5 using this method.
Open Firefox and open a new tab.
type in about:config
Read and heed the warning!

In the Filter: box type in extensions.checkCompatibility and press <enter>
If nothing pops up, right mouse click on a blank area in the result and select New
Then Boolean
Then type in "extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0" (without the quotes) and set the Value to False.
Restart Firefox.

I suspect that Firefox 6/7/8/* can be manipulated the same way but with an appropriate string modification of extensions.checkCompatibility.[678].0

The great UNDO should things go south:
in About:config > Filter "extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0" and right mouse click and select Reset and restart Firefox.

Enjoy.

DBD::File::HowTo(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       DBD::File::HowTo(3)

NAME
DBD::File::HowTo - Guide to create DBD::File based driver SYNOPSIS
perldoc DBD::File::HowTo perldoc DBI perldoc DBI::DBD perldoc DBD::File::Developers perldoc DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::Developers perldoc DBI::DBD::SqlEngine perldoc SQL::Eval perldoc DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::HowTo perldoc SQL::Statement::Embed perldoc DBD::File perldoc DBD::File::HowTo perldoc DBD::File::Developers DESCRIPTION
This document provides a step-by-step guide, how to create a new "DBD::File" based DBD. It expects that you carefully read the DBI documentation and that you're familiar with DBI::DBD and had read and understood DBD::ExampleP. This document addresses experienced developers who are really sure that they need to invest time when writing a new DBI Driver. Writing a DBI Driver is neither a weekend project nor an easy job for hobby coders after work. Expect one or two man-month of time for the first start. Those who are still reading, should be able to sing the rules of "CREATING A NEW DRIVER" in DBI::DBD. Of course, DBD::File is a DBI::DBD::SqlEngine and you surely read DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::HowTo before continuing here. CREATING DRIVER CLASSES
Do you have an entry in DBI's DBD registry? For this guide, a prefix of "foo_" is assumed. Sample Skeleton package DBD::Foo; use strict; use warnings; use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION); use base qw(DBD::File); use DBI (); $VERSION = "0.001"; package DBD::Foo::dr; use vars qw(@ISA $imp_data_size); @ISA = qw(DBD::File::dr); $imp_data_size = 0; package DBD::Foo::db; use vars qw(@ISA $imp_data_size); @ISA = qw(DBD::File::db); $imp_data_size = 0; package DBD::Foo::st; use vars qw(@ISA $imp_data_size); @ISA = qw(DBD::File::st); $imp_data_size = 0; package DBD::Foo::Statement; use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = qw(DBD::File::Statement); package DBD::Foo::Table; use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = qw(DBD::File::Table); 1; Tiny, eh? And all you have now is a DBD named foo which will is able to deal with temporary tables, as long as you use SQL::Statement. In DBI::SQL::Nano environments, this DBD can do nothing. Start over Based on DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::HowTo, we're now having a driver which could do basic things. Of course, it should now derive from DBD::File instead of DBI::DBD::SqlEngine, shouldn't it? DBD::File extends DBI::DBD::SqlEngine to deal with any kind of files. In principle, the only extensions required are to the table class: package DBD::Foo::Table; sub bootstrap_table_meta { my ( $self, $dbh, $meta, $table ) = @_; # initialize all $meta attributes which might be relevant for # file2table return $self->SUPER::bootstrap_table_meta($dbh, $meta, $table); } sub init_table_meta { my ( $self, $dbh, $meta, $table ) = @_; # called after $meta contains the results from file2table # initialize all missing $meta attributes $self->SUPER::init_table_meta( $dbh, $meta, $table ); } In case "DBD::File::Table::open_file" doesn't open the files as the driver needs that, override it! sub open_file { my ( $self, $meta, $attrs, $flags ) = @_; # ensure that $meta->{f_dontopen} is set $self->SUPER::open_file( $meta, $attrs, $flags ); # now do what ever needs to be done } Combined with the methods implemented using the SQL::Statement::Embed guide, the table is full working and you could try a start over. User comfort "DBD::File" since 0.39 consolidates all persistent meta data of a table into a single structure stored in "$dbh->{f_meta}". With "DBD::File" version 0.41 and "DBI::DBD::SqlEngine" version 0.05, this consolidation moves to DBI::DBD::SqlEngine. It's still the "$dbh->{$drv_prefix . "_meta"}" attribute which cares, so what you learned at this place before, is still valid. sub init_valid_attributes { my $dbh = $_[0]; $dbh->SUPER::init_valid_attributes (); $dbh->{foo_valid_attrs} = { ... }; $dbh->{foo_readonly_attrs} = { ... }; $dbh->{foo_meta} = "foo_tables"; return $dbh; } See updates at "User comfort" in DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::HowTo. Testing Now you should have your own DBD::File based driver. Was easy, wasn't it? But does it work well? Prove it by writing tests and remember to use dbd_edit_mm_attribs from DBI::DBD to ensure testing even rare cases. AUTHOR
