I updated today to Firefox 5.0 at the urging of Mozilla and---as warned before updating---copy to plain text is not available for this Firefox release. I assume that the developer of this addon will eventually update it but in the meantime because of the kind of work I do I really need either an alternative that will work with Firefox 5.0 or a work around that will allow the addon to work with 5.0. Hopefully nothing too complicated as I am not a power user or tech expert. The availability of Copy to plain text is one of the main reasons I use Firefox 90% of the time on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

I assume 'copy to plain text' is an extension that stopped working due to compatibility issues.

You can try this extension, it overrides compatibility issues:

If you still want to downgrade, see here:

copy_plain_text-0.3.3.1-mod Works with SeaMonkey 1.0 - 2.1.*, Firefox 2.0 - 3.7.*, Thunderbird 2.0 - 3.1.* For latest versions of browsers edit maxVersion in install.rdf
