[Webdriver] How to disable add-on compatibility checker for FF?

[shen xieyin]

Hi all,

I am currently working on Selenium 2.39 with Firefox 26 version, before the browser window is initialized it always popup a dialog saying check add-on compatibility. Below is the solution I have tried to disable this popup, but still doesn't work. If anyone knows how to disable it, kindly let me know.

1.  Add profile.setPreference("extensions.checkCompatibility", false);  profile.setPreference("extensions.checkUpdateSecurity", false);

1.  Add profile.setPreference("extensions.checkCompatibility", false);  profile.setPreference("extensions.checkUpdateSecurity", false); before starting the Firefox profile.

2.  Add user_pref("extensions.checkCompatibility", false); and user_pref("extensions.checkUpdateSecurity", false); to perf.js under Firefox profile folder.

3.  Try the extension disable_add_on_compatibility_checks-1.3-fx+fn+sm+tb.xpi.

If anyone knows how to disable it, kindly let me know.

Thanks,
