David,

I too found it pretty surprising and quite irritating that Ubiquity has not not yet been updated for Firefox 3.6 - not even their beta version is FF 3.6 compatible at the time of this writing; odd for a premiere Mozilla extension.

Technically, Ubiquity does work with 3.6, it is a simple matter of 3.6 not being included in the version metadata for the extension. There are several ways in which this can be overridden, one of the simplest is to install the "Nightly Tester Tools" extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543

Once installed you can go to your addon list (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and override compatibility for extensions like Ubiquity from the context menu - or - force the install of incompatible extensions using the "force install" button that is added to the installation dialog. I am using Ubiquity in FF 3.6 without issue.

Hope this helps someone!
Brian.

Firefox today.

So if you are a user of  http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible , and wish
to continue to use it with Ubiquity, defer the FF upgrade until Ubiquity has
been updated to become compatible.

If you have already upgraded FF, you can still use FireBible, but without
taking the cool benefit of its Ubiquity support.

Let's hope they fix Ubquity soon!
