Known Issues

  • Close buttons not working. This is because Firefox does not allow a window to be closed by a script, if that window was opened by a script.
  • 'Opening Tabs' window does not close. This is caused by the same issue as mentioned above.
  • Addon does not open file: or about: urls. (See issue #2)
  • Context menus working initially on Firefox. Solution: If your context menus are not working on Firefox, then please restart your browser as this is an known issue.
