Social Fixer 10.4 Release Notes and Bug Fixes

social_fixer_bandaid7Social Fixer 10.4 is a patch release to fix several bugs and problems, primarily caused by recent changes in browsers and their extension API’s. Read below for the short list of fixes.

(Note: 10.3 was previously published but had a problem, so I quickly re-released and updated the version to 10.4)

What’s Fixed?

  • Preferences would often not save in Firefox 30+. This turned out to be a complex problem caused by an internal browser change.
    • The News Feed would load posts forever, slowing down the browser. Now it once again stops after loading 5 pages of posts, so the browser can take a rest.
      • Greasemonkey 2.0 caused errors because of a change in their code.
        • Posts would sometimes disappear in Chrome, especially when they had been moved to a tab and you switched to that tab.
          • Newer themes (Midnight, Desktop, Appassionata) were missing from the theme selector window.
            • In some cases, Social Fixer would run invisibly in hidden windows or in other cases, causing slowdown. It now runs only when really needed.</ul> The list of changes is small and there are no exciting new features. But this fixes a number of problems many users have experienced. Hopefully the next release will have more fun stuff. Smile
