How can I force an "incompatible" binary add-on to load?
My security software, Trend Micro, has three binary add-ons it loads into Firefox to provide more protection. I installed Nightly to mess around with and found that it states one of the add-ons is incompatible. Is there any way to force this add-on to work?

I wouldn't try to force extensions with binary components to work with a Firefox version that they are not specified to work with.
Binary components always need to be compiled against the version they they are compatible with and bypassing this can cause severe problems.
If you want to use such extensions then you need to stay with the release version that is supported and stay away from nightly developer builds.
Otherwise you need to except that those extensions are working.
You should however always have the current release installed anyway as a fallback in case of problems, so you can always use that version for websites that you do not feel comfortable with.

Do note that your antivirus is still running in the background, no matter the Firefox version.
Thanks for the help!
