one of them was Exif Viewer, until it stopped working with version 3.6.* of firefox. :|

since there was no update since July 2009 i didn’t expect a quick fix. so i did it myself.
here is what you do to make the addon work again (i already had it installed when i upgraded firefox to 3.6).

go to (the SOME_HEX_ID part is usually different for everone)

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[SOME_HEX_ID].default/extensions/exif...@mozilla.doslash.org/

and edit the file install.rdf in that directory.
change:
[...]
em:minVersion="1.5"
em:maxVersion="3.5.*" /> <!-- Firefox -->
[...]

to
[...]
em:minVersion="1.5"
em:maxVersion="3.9.*" /> <!-- Firefox -->
[...]

or a version number that suits you. after a firefox restart the exif viewer addon should work again.

i give no guarantee this will work on any version of firefox. after all there is a reason they put a version number in there ;)
