    Version 1.8.7

    Released Sep 24, 2026 - 73.58 KB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    What's new in Version 1.8.7:
    * Fix links silently not opening on a freshly loaded page (#38)
    * The injected content script is a lightweight loader that kicks off an
    async import of the real module and returns immediately, so its message
    listener could still be registering when the next request went out
    * setup() only waited a fixed 10ms after reinjection before proceeding,
    and the popup called it a second, redundant time on top of that, doubling
    the race window; when the module wasn't ready in time the request failed
    with "Could not establish connection" and the action silently did nothing
    * setup() now polls until the content script actually responds instead of
    guessing a delay
    * Fixes #37
    * Fix a crash in the popup's link filter when a regex match ended at the very
    last character of the link list
    * highlightRegex dereferenced a possibly-null TreeWalker node after
    walking off the end of the text, throwing and aborting highlighting of
    any earlier matches in the same filter pass
    * Also fixes a related off-by-one that could wrap a spurious empty
    highlight span around the start of the next text node when a match
    landed exactly on a node boundary
    * Fix a console error on every keystroke in the popup
    * The "type anywhere to jump into the filter" handler redispatched the
    same (already-dispatching) keypress event onto the filter, which is a
    DOM-spec violation and always threw InvalidStateError
    * Moving focus to the filter while the native keypress is still bubbling
    was already enough for the browser to deliver the character there;
    the redispatch was unnecessary as well as broken
    * Show a friendly message when opening links fails
    * The popup's Open button showed the raw Error object's default string
    (e.g. Error: No group with id: 12345.) instead of the curated
    title/subtitle messaging used everywhere else in the popup
    * Now shows "Unable to open links" as the title with the underlying
    error as the subtitle
    * Add keyboard navigation to the popup's link list
    * ArrowUp/ArrowDown move focus across the currently visible (unfiltered)
    rows; Space toggles the focused row's checkbox
    * Focusing a row via the keyboard highlights the corresponding link on
    the page, matching the existing mouse-hover behavior
    * Extract links from image-map areas and formaction buttons (#24)
    * <area href> inside <map> (image maps) and <button>/<input
    type="submit"|"image">
    with a formaction attribute are now picked up
    alongside <a href>, in the light DOM, inside open shadow roots, and in
    the "selection collapsed inside a single link" special case
    * <area> labels fall back to the element's alt attribute, since it has
    no text content of its own

    Version 1.8.6

    Released Jul 4, 2026 - 70.91 KB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    • Show [empty] for links with no text, not just missing text (#33)
    • Traverse open shadow roots when extracting links (#34)
    • Fixes links not being found on sites that render content in web
      components, e.g. Internet Archive
    • Fix links not found when a selection lies entirely inside an open shadow
      root (#35)
    • Browsers collapse such a selection's Range to a zero-width point;
      recover the real boundary points via Selection.getComposedRanges()
      where supported (Chrome 127+, Firefox 142+)
    • Fixes #30

  • Version 1.8.5

    Released Jun 6, 2026 - 67.16 KB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    Version 1.8.5
    • Add copy links to clipboard (#28)
    • Copy button in popup writes checked URLs (newline-separated) to clipboard
    • Context menu item and keyboard shortcut (osl_copy) for copy without opening the popup
    • Add incognito/private window option (#29)
    • "Incognito/private" checkbox in popup; greyed out with a note if Chrome hasn't granted incognito access
    • When opened from an incognito window, the checkbox is pre-checked so new windows inherit privacy by default; user can uncheck to escape to a regular window
    • Context menu and keyboard commands respect the saved incognito setting
    • If already in an incognito window, "open in current window" stays there rather than creating a new one
