The latest release of the social web-browser, Flock, is based on Firefox 2.x. Some useful extensions haven't as yet been updated for Flock 0.9.x versions. In particular, the Microformats extension Operator and the bibliographic extension Zotero won't install with current Flock builds. I've tested these extensions and they do seem to be pretty much compatible with Flock 0.9.x. To install them, all that's needed is a simple tweak to Flock's configuration.

• In the Flock address bar, type about:config to show configuration options;
• In the Filter box at the top of the extension list, type extensions.checkCompatibility to display this setting;
• Double click on the extensions.checkCompatibility to set it to false. This turns off extension compatibility checking.

No compatibility checking of extensions can do bad things to your browser if you install a genuinely incompatible one, so this is only a temporary solution until updated version of Zotero and Operator are released. Be careful with other extensions in the mean time!
