Welcome to the future! New XKit 7.8.0 is a comprehensive update of our base extension for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari with a bunch of improvements. New XKit is now fully a WebExtension on both Firefox and Chrome, which allows us to share the browser support code between both platforms. Most importantly, this means that your XKit will continue working on Firefox Quantum.
New XKit 7.8.0 should be automatically downloaded for you through your browser’s normal update process.
Note for Firefox users: You must already have New XKit 7.7.7 or higher for your data to be automatically transferred to 7.8.0. If you have a lower version, download 7.7.7′s xpi first at its release page. If you run into any trouble, follow the steps in this new-xkit-support post.
Also for Firefox users: If you have problems with One-Click Postage after updating, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Check out this post on new-xkit-support for more information.

We can’t reproduce this. Can you give us more information?

We’ve looked into the issue, and it seems like the solution is to update Chrome. If that doesn’t solve it for you, give us more detail over at the bug’s gitub issue, or send an ask if you can’t use Github.

I’m not sure how Chrome handles cookies, but as long as the different sessions are using different sets of cookies you should be fine.
On Firefox, for example, the Multifox extension doesn’t work right because the profiles share cookies. However, I have Firefox (personal tumblr) and Firefox Developer Edition (xkit tumblr) open simultaneously without issue.
It should be pretty obvious if it’s not working—usually one blog will be unable to use One Click Postage if you’re having cookie issues. What do you mean by everything disappearing?
This update reduces our permissions on Chrome, fixes the bogus conflict warnings, and enables running extensions on blogs (restoring the status quo). However, the status might not be quo, please report any bugs you encounter via our ask box or our github issues.
Yes, you do need to uninstall old XKit before installing New XKit. I apologize if you are on Chrome as this will delete all of your data unless XCloud chooses today to work.
No, we do not have a build for Safari or iOS.
If you are having a problem with Editable Reblogs please confirm that you have the Rich text editor set as your default and have versions 7.6.5 of XKit, 1.0.8 of Editable Reblogs, and 3.1.2 of XKit Patches. Note that XKit Patches is only visible if you select “Show Internal Extensions” on the Advanced Settings section of the Other pane.
Finally, if you are still encountering issues, please include your browser and operating system versions in your report.

Not a thing in Firefox as far as I can tell, unfortunately. Posting for Chrome users.

Make sure to uninstall the old XKit before installing our New XKit. Because we are a fork, Chrome does not recognize us as the heir to the XKit name and will not automatically replace it with New XKit.
