After doing a little digging, this was tracked down to a 2010 related bug, and the fact that the newest versions of Firefox were released this calendar year.  Take a look at my user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2)  Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

In the FCKEditor code, it’s checking to see if I have a compatible browser by checking the date of release of the Firefox, with the following code:

stResult = reFind( "gecko/(200[3-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9])", sAgent, 1, true );

You’ll notice that this regex doesn’t work particulary well for anything that might start with 2010, so you need to update your regex to the following:

stResult = reFind( "gecko/(20[0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9])", sAgent, 1, true );

Once you’re done and dusted, this should give you another 10 years of happy FCKEditor usage (if you’re that committed).

UPDATE:  After some more digging it would appear that this is only a ColdFusion related issue, as it is the only library to use a regex to find the date, all of the others use a substring style extraction of the date.

In order to do this pop into your address bar and go to about:config.  After telling Firefox you like living dangerously, find

browser.ctrlTab.previews

and set it to true.

Once you’ve done this, CTRL-TAB and you’ll be able to preview and search all your open tabs.

1. Find your profile folder (should be in C:\Documents and Settings\#Windows Username#\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

2. Make a copy of the profile folder, then delete the original. Also delete the profiles.cfg and pluginreg.dat files in the Firefox Folder (up above profiles)), then run Firefox and create a new profile on prompt.

3. Copy from your original profile folder the following files/folders:

- bookmarks.html (Bookmarks)

- cookies.txt (Cookies)

- cert8.db, secmod.db, key3.db and signons.txt (Saved Passwords)

- search.rdf file and searchplugins directory (Search)

4. Go to addons.mozilla.org and re-install your extensions. You'll probably find yourself installing less that you had before.

Hopefully once you have done this you should have a profile resembling what you had, but without all the clutter. A couple of minor tweaks later on and you should be back exactly how you were.
