How to make the plugin 2.3.1 delicious work again in firefox 16.0.1 on ubuntu 12.0.4 ?

Introduction

You have to change 2 files (install.rdf and overlay.css), restart firefox and reenable the plugin. Then you can use delicious again. Read the remark below (delicious is automatically disabled after a reboot).

1) increase maxVersion

vi ~/.mozilla/firefox/eb1sf09r.default/extensions
/{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}/install.rdf

increase maxVersion

example :
6.*

In this example, it was increased to include de version 6 and upper (16 and upper).

2) disable the awesome integration

a) backup the file overlay.css (in case of)
cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/eb1sf09r.default
/{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}/chrome/skin/overlay.css
~/.mozilla/firefox/eb1sf09r.default
/{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}/chrome/skin/overlay.css.orig

b) edit the file overlay.css and comment out the line that includes ybAwesomeBarBindings.xml#ybookmarks-awesomebar-autocomplete-richlistitem

example :

/* Awesomebar component binding ^M
.autocomplete-richlistitem ^M
{^M
        -moz-binding: url(chrome://ybookmarks/content/ybAwesomeBarBindings.xml#ybookmarks-awesomebar-autocomplete-richlistitem) !important;^M
}^M
*/^M
^M
