Can I reinstate my Delicious account that I did have on my previous Firefox version to Firefox 4?

I have a lot of scholarly information on Delicious that I do not want to lose, and I like being able to login to Yahoo and then Delicious while browsing on Firefox. I don't want to lose this ability. Thank you.

The Delicious extension for Firefox doesn't seem to have been updated for Firefox 4.0 yet, but here is a fix that can be done to make it compatible with Firefox 4.0/

From this thread:

I figured out a simple trick to make the Delicious bookmarks Firefox add-on work after upgrading to Firefox 4.0.

This assumes that you previously had the Delicious bookmarks add-on working in Firefox 3.6.x and you have just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 – which disables the add-on and states that it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0

  • Open Firefox
  • Goto “Help” in the Menu, then “Troubleshooting Information”
  • Click on the “Open Containing Folder” button (within the box “Application Basics” on top of the page)
  • Close Firefox
  • Goto into directory “extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”
  • Edit install.rdf and change the following from the first line to the second line
     em:maxVersion="4.0b3pre" />
     em:maxVersion="4.0.*" />
  • Restart Firefox

Worked like a charm--just a clarification for those who don't normally do that sort of thing: you have to find the line in the file that looks like the first line in the note--then make it look like the second line.
