I am not joining your Discord. Stop contributing to information voiding.

[runxel]

Can confirm. The new version does nothing.

What's "information voiding"?

[driedpampas]

We are currently investigating this (and another issue with the version not showing up)

[lostdusty]

We are aware of the issue already, and trying to get a fix for this.

Could you explain "information voiding", please?

..what? we have documentation on github wiki, and we are working on the fix, but we didnt comment about anything with the public, until this issue, because we thought this was going to be a simple fix, but the way mozilla wants the consent dialog to be implemented make it a hard thing to fix

[undeadjess]

update:
this is happening because Mozilla asked us to add a consent dialogue in the new version because of new rules they have about processing urls. they said we have to have the user press agree BEFORE running any code. unfortunately, the code that manages the consent page isn't working properly, so the extensions main code (the background script) isn't being run, so nothing is working.

#1134 may fix this, but needs testing. once that is done, we will upload the new fixed version to Firefox and hopefully this issue will be sorted

update:
We've identified possible problematic commits going back quite a bit

[driedpampas]

another update:
we've identified the problematic code and are testing a fix

So, unless a new release is published to AMO, Firefox users still can't use this addon unless they install it manually somehow?

If so, is there any instruction about how to manually install git version of this addon?

[driedpampas]

exactly or you can download the latest package zip file in actions (and if using firefox stable or beta, change the contact email in the manifest and upload it to firefox addons as self distributed so they sign it real quick so you can install it)

[escape0707]

As of recent update, it's working now.

(Although some Example Links on the homepage can't be bypassed, like the clictune.com one. But I think that belongs to another issue
