New XKit Firefox v7.7.6
Hello everyone! In today’s New XKit update, we’re laying the groundwork for supporting Firefox 57′s release. This update adds WebExtension support for XKit and includes a migration step to make sure everyone keeps the same config both before and after the change. Because WebExtensions will be the only platform supported for Firefox going forward, it’s important that you install this update so you can continue to access your config in future versions.
Immediately after upgrading you may encounter a brief pause where Tumblr or Firefox ceases to respond to you for a couple seconds before everything runs normally. This is should only happen if you are running Firefox on a toaster made out of wood, but we want to make sure that you know there is nothing to be afraid of.
Your XKit should update automatically within the next few days, but if you want to hurry the process along, you can download it directly from https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/releases/firefox-v7.7.6/ (XPI file)
If you have problems using the Tumblr dashboard after this update, or you have lost settings since this update, you can try downloading the old version of XKit from https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/releases/tag/firefox-v7.7.5 (.xpi file)
We’re sorry for the inconvenience!
