you said that installing New Xkit on Chrome would automatically overwrite one with the other, but it didn't. I now have two XKit icons on my dash, one being the old XKit and the other being y'all's version but the latter won't open when I click it. HELP?

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.

How do you force your Xkit to manually update the main extenstion. I am sitting at 7.6.2 and want to make it update to 7.6.3? Thank you for doing this for the Tumblr community, you are superstars.

Thank you for your kindness and diligence in updating! If you have Firefox, you can safely uninstall and reinstall the extension to force a version update. On Chrome, if there is an option to enable Developer Mode on the chrome://extensions page then you can click it and spam the Update Extensions Now button. Otherwise, pick a god and pray.

On Firefox, if you downloaded from the Addon Store previously (i.e., if you’re running New XKit and did NOT get your current version from github), you don’t even have to uninstall. It’ll overwrite for you.

New XKit 7.6.4

This update prevents XKit from running directly on blogs and increases the amount of location context provided to extensions. This fixes the issues with Themes, Themes Plus, and Timestamps.

Firefox

Chrome (Currently in the process of publishing)

I don't know whats causing this but one of the things is making every blog background bright red and its really gross

Thanks for the report! This is related to an issue in the Themes+ extension and possibly the Themes extension. A fix to Themes+ was just published and investigation into Themes is underway.

Does this work with Waterfox?

It looks like it does. Any fork of Firefox that has incorporated the changes to the addons API made after version 32 should work.

hello. so i downloaded the new xkit, and suddenly my blog kept Aw Snap! in,g an error that shuts down the page. i disabled New Xkit, and the error went away. I LOVE xkit, and would like to keep using it. if theres anything to do , or that i can do, im happy to listen. thank you.

If you’re able to recreate the Aw Snap! error that is probably a bug that the Chrome developers would be interested in knowing more about. Their bug tracker is https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list, although given they probably already know about the crashes with all the telemetry they have.

Have you fixed the the sidebar to have the activity/queue/followers show up yet?

new-xkit-extension answered:

As of now, there are two ways to get your account info in your sidebar, and both are slightly broken:

1. Install the beta extension “Old Stats” from the extension browser. This will look like the stats sidebar on your activity page. I haven’t yet figured out how to get the activity graph to draw properly, so that’s currently blank. You’ll also still need to use the peg-person button to see your likes and other blogs.
2. Install estufarextensions‘s sidebar extension from their blog. This will look like the menu that appears when you click the peg-person button now, and will remove that button entirely. Unfortunately, if you click anywhere before xkit is done loading this extension, you’ll be redirected to the dashboard.

You also can install tampermonkey and use this script

it works really really well! You can even customize its appearance slightly.

I sent an ask earlier about not being able to get new xkit to work on firefox 39. Well, through a process of elimination I discovered the problem. New xkit works great (<3 btw) until I change firefox's settings to never remember history & tell sites I don't want to be tracked, and clear recent history; after this firefox acts like new xkit isn't installed, the xkit thingy doesn't show up on the tumblr etc. Thank you for all your work

We’ll look into it. It might be related to how XKit currently doesn’t work in private browsing. Posting for other people with this problem.
