@ Amir, I tried with Pimpzilla of Firefox 2. I even updated to its latest version but still the buttons are clogged.

^^ As You Say I have downloaded and install it on My firefox 3.
It is working without any problem.
The install.rdf file is as:

^^first of all please download pimpzilla from here and after installing try to use it.
(it is a new version)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1542
Then write what happens?

[Plasma_Snake]

well since its a new version, upon installing its working like a charm and I think there's nothing more to write here then. My earlier post was regarding the inaneness shown by the earlier version of Pimpzilla in Firefox 3.

Hello, read my words carefully.
First of all take my method as trick only. And it is best for each to know tips and tricks.
I am saying to install latest pimpzilla, behind the aim to check your browser working.
Download this old theme from here and then say anything if you really want to check my trick.
http://http://www.brothersoft.com/pimpzilla-123627.html
it is the Old version of pimpzilla.
I have tested it also on my firefox 3.1 and its all working is normal.
But one thing keep in mind :
New is not = Old.
You can use my trick for those extension or theme which are rarely available as Ranjan was said.

wonderful, overall fantastic

[ranjan2001]

Saying it again too,
ITS A TRICK to use older extension which will never be updated,
by altering the hard coded FF version number in the extension code.

This can be used for themes & extensions but few older version extension may cause hangups or higher use of ram/cpu, so be careful that altering the code should not make FF unstable.

[ranjan2001]

I found "UNmht" as an alternative to Mozilla archive format,
does anyone know other alternatives of the extension mentioned below then please post.

Mozilla archive format >>> UNmht
Autocopy
IEtab
TinyURL creator
Paste & go2
Bookmark duplicate detector
