how to install sqlite manager addon in firefox quantum (browser version 57)

Question

i tried to install sqlite manager addon in firefox but it showing me an error (your Firefox Quantum Browser isn't compatible )

my Firefox Browser version is 57.0.4

Solution 1

This extension depended upon the interface to sqlite engine embedded in Firefox. As the interface has been removed in Firefox 57, this extension no longer functions. However, the extension can be used on ESR release of Firefox, which can be downloaded at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/.

Stated on the addon itself. I myself pushed my firefox version back but have also been using DB Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.org/). As its not too bad i may upgrade back to the latest firefox!

Firefox Version Directory: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Hopefully this may help someone fishing around.

Solution 2

You should install older versions of Firefox. Here is link https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Solution 3

An easy work around to browser version issues is to install thunderbird 38 (if you don't use thunderbird for email) https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/ and then install SQLite manager as an extension to thunderbird. I don't use thunderbird for anything else so I set it to no update: options>advanced>update>never check for update.
