What’s New And Fixed In Social Fixer 7.801
This update fixes a number of issues, including More Stories, Safari 7 problems, Out Of Memory errors, opening application posts in a new window, and Save to Pocket.
Install the 7.801 update by going to SocialFixer.com
What's Changed
- The “More Stories” settings should now work correctly for everyone. The default behavior of loading more stories when you scroll to the bottom works like normal, except for when it detects an endless loading loop. In this case, a message will be displayed and loading will be paused. In case these options ever stop working correctly, a new option in the Advanced tab has been created to completely disable all fixes associated with More Stories. This is only for worst-case scenarios and shouldn’t be checked unless needed.
- New Option on the Popular tab: “Disable auto-refresh of the news feed to insert stories at the top”. If you’ve ever been annoyed at your feed jumping down because new stories were inserted at the top, this feature prevents that from happening.
- Fixed error messages in Safari 7.
- Fixed NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY error messages in Firefox 23+ that some users were experiencing.
- Fixed the option to mark application posts as read and open in a new tab when links are clicked.
- New option in the Advanced tab: “When clicking a notification about a group post, go directly to the post rather than the group feed.”
- Added a help message that appears when posting to the Support Group, and enhanced the pinned post with custom styling to draw attention to it for new users.
- Fixed the “Save to Pocket” feature by making it open in a new window instead of an embedded window. This change was required due to a change in the Pocket website itself.</ul>
What Still Needs Work
Because Facebook and the browsers themselves are constant moving targets, there are always a few things broken that I need to look at. Here are a few of the things I know about:
- In Chrome, Pinning notifications to the right, notification previews, and quoting text in comment replies are still not working.
- The new news feed format that a small percentage of users have is not compatible with the filtering and tabbing options.
- Invite All link to invite many friends to events no longer works because Facebook put restrictions on how many people could be invited at once. Right now there is no known work-around for this. More details on this Facebook limitation.
- Opera 15 has changed the browser’s internals. To use Social Fixer with Opera 15, first install this addon: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en and then install Social Fixer from the Google Chrome store link. </ul>
