New Year's edition with a whole lot of under-the-hood improvements, bugfixes and some new features!

• context menus can now be disabled
• Hover Hotkey is now managed via your browser's extension hotkey management
• Hover Hotkey now has an unrecommended "aggressive" mode, to improve its chances of working on tricky webpages
• File Renaming now has date/time variables — or it would if Firefox supported this WebExtension feature. You'll still need a different browser to make use of it in 2021.

Release 7.0.0 is here at last, with many new features and improvements!

• improved: Options screen contains more info about settings now
• new: disable the greyout effect during image download if you want to
• new: the domain blacklists can also function as whitelists
• improved: Options screen is more eye-friendly and adapts better to known browser incompatibilities
• new: choose what to do when a filename already exists (limited browser support)
• new: change the mouseclick type the addon listens to, or outright disable the titular feature

New year, new programming language!

This long-awaited update is essentially a complete technical rewrite of the addon, without changes visible to users. This new programming language much more strictly forces code to be correct and safe, leading to fewer bugs and easier feature updates. Even the process of simply migrating the existing code revealed minor bugs, which were immediately fixed.

Going forward, it will be considerably easier to work on the code, and I hope to be able to put in the necessary time. I definitely aim to clear the current list of bugs and features in Gitlab, and that's what will be done in the next update. Sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long.

First published update in a long, long time! I'm sorry it's taking me so long to implement your requests and bug fixes. Life has left me with very little time, energy, and motivation to work on my addons, and DID — the largest, most complex of my addons — is affected the most.

I hope you enjoy this update though. The changes in this update go back more than half a year. I was waiting to have a long work spree, after which I'd post the update. I did actually do some work over this long time, but never got around to "finishing" it. I figured I should give you what I've made so far already, instead of holding it back for no real reason.

Enjoy, and thank you to my loyal users and generous donors!

• option for different button appearance — more styles can be added in the future with relative ease now that the foundation for this feature has been laid
• mouse-click handling should be improved cross-platform, especially for linux users
• double context menu fix
• behind-the-screens development improvements and code cleaning

Added a warning to the unsupported features, explaining why they're disabled since many people don't read release notes.

Firefox 57/webextensions update!

This is actually just a back-to-firefox port of the chrome port of the original firefox addon... We've come full circle.

This is a BETA release! Firefox's webextensions implementation is incomplete so not all features of this addon are supported - those that aren't, have been disabled appropriately. The remaining features have been tested and appear to work without issues. The code is not optimized for firefox yet.

I'm releasing this unfinished product because the core functionality works, and that's what most of you have been waiting for.

I'm sorry for the long wait you've all had for this (and my remaining addons, which I haven't started work on yet), but I stopped being a firefox user myself long ago because of some issues with firefox and mozilla themselves, and thus have no interest in working on these addons. Your donations and IMHO large head count are really the only things that motivated (guilt-tripped?) me into doing this. Contributors, i.e. fellow programmers but with a greater interest in firefox, are more than welcome to help keep these addons working!
