I just wanted to confirm that this extension does work in Firefox 3.6.3 *if* you follow the directions that have been mentioned below. Here they are in a manner that will hopefully help those who want it.

FYI...I'm using Copy Plain Text 0.3.4 that you can download here:
http://mozmonkey.com/packages/copyplaintext/

I mention that because that's the GUID used in step 1 below. I don't know what the GUID is for 0.3.3. Technically, though, this should work with either version. If I knew the 0.3.3 GUID, then I would have put that in the steps instead, to make it easier.

1) Locate the install.rdf file. It's usually located in your profile folder in the extensions (e.g., \Profiles\di4qybzg.default\extensions\{723AAF16-AF1F-4404-A5D7-0BFE39766605}). Keep in mind, the GUID folder will be different for version 0.3.3. Open it in your favorite text editor and change the maxVersion to 3.6.* or whatever you want, really. Just needs to be higher than 3.6.*. Save it--overwriting the original.

2) In the same folder, create a *new* file titled "chrome.manifest" (minus the quotes, of course). If you're in Windows, just create a new text file (*.txt) and rename the whole thing (including file extension) to "chrome.manifest".

Using the link (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=tXuSK8N2) provided by prajatarah below, you want to copy those lines and paste them into the chrome.manifest file you just created. Save it.

3) Restart Firefox. That's it!

You should now be able to access the preferences of the add-on and it should show up in your right-click context menu.

it would be nice if someone could translate prajatarah's instructions for those of us who are not developers to fix. :)

This was my favorite ad on but now it will not self install and says it's incompatibly with every version of Firefox I've tried. The prajatarah's instructions sound like jibberish to me.

The instructions from from prajatarah worked perfectly :

works fine in Fx 3.6.3 if you create chrome.manifest in root of extension and change maxVersion in install.rdf from 2.0 to 3.6.* using a file archiver, like 7-zip.
why create chrome.manifest? contents.rdf manifest format is no longer supported at all starting with Gecko 1.9.2; add-ons already installed using this format
will continue to work but can no longer be installed.

chrome.manifest:

I am running XP-Pro and Firefox 3.6.3, and I have the problem with it freezing when I click on the Options button in the Extensions window. Click Tools/Add-ons, then click on the Extensions symbol, select "Copy Plain Text", then click on the "Options" button. That some people do not have this problem must indicate some differences in system or Firefox configuration.

Further, I do not get a new menu item in my context menu to copy plain text, so the extension doesn't work at all for me.

This extension is really great, saves me a lot of time! It works beautifully on Firefox 3.6.3. 'Copy Plain Text' wouldn't work together with 'AutoCopy' on Firefox 3.6.3. My solution to this was to uninstall FF 3.6, install FF 3.5, add the add-ons, and then upgrade to FF 3.6. Now I have 'AutoCopy' combined with 'Copy Plain Text' in the latest Firefox version. This was for anybody who has the same problem (my OS is Vista). Great extension! Five stars!
