Skipscreen updated, now for Firefox 4 and 5!

Posted by on July 9, 2011

Skipscreen version 0.6.1.0s is now available.

The changes in this release:

+ Rapidshare support has been restored.

+ SkipScreen now supports Firefox 4.x, 5.x, 6.x (Aurora).

+ General cleanup.

+ Added a preference to Open Links in Background Tabs. This is an experiment. It allows you to click on a link in Google and other pages and then open the page in a background tab and start processing. This preference is off by default. Let us know what you think.

If you’ve been using Skipscreen but upgraded your browser, your browser will probably update the addon but you’ll have to re-enable it manually.

    I just tried updating directly through FF again & it seems to have gone to 0.6.1.0s correctly. :razz:

    Love the addon, have been using it for years. With this latest update though, it breaks the firefox toolbars. I have 3, one for buttons, one for address bar and one for bookmarks. With the newest update, the address bar keeps disappearing, disabling SkipScreen returns it.

    Until it gets uploaded elsewhere, I found the latest Firefox 5-compatible version here.

    The new 0.6.1.2 fixes the problems with making toolbars disappear :)
