6.0
- IPv4 & IPv6 address location database updates for December 2017
- First pure WebExtension API version of Flagfox; Firefox 57+ support added (min is v56; v57+ highly recommended)
- Ported Flagfox options from XUL window to HTML tab (along with all other dialogs), per WebExt requirement
- Improved IPDB to now run in its own dedicated JS Worker thread
- Started using ES6 promises everywhere (some new uses because it’s better; many compelled by WebExt API)
- Faster flag icon updates using new WebExt API (pages loaded/cached prior to install/update must be refreshed)
- Added simple indicator icons+tags for HSTS, HTTP/2, and insecure HTTP to flag icon tooltips
- Changed TLD nationality to always show in tooltips for nation-restricted non-ccTLDs (IDN TLDs require Firefox 57+)
- Added Flagfox actions context menus for elements within a page and background tabs (IP-related stuff NYI)
- Improved keyboard support in the options page
- Added domain names of actions (that have a URL) to their tooltips in the options page
- Added options page support for paste to import and cut/copy to clone, via main menu or hotkey (e.g. ctrl+v/c/x)
- Changed options page to autosave actions JSON to storage rather than wait for tab close
- Fixed some bugs with actions import/drag/drop in options under recent versions of Firefox
- Added Linux support for opening actions in a background window (mostly useless, but nonetheless true)
- Implemented custom locale properties file parsing/loading, because screw WebExtension’s bloated I18N
- Implemented universal automatic English fallback for locales (Flagfox 5 had some; Flagfox 6 has it for everything)
- Now stripping redundant manual English fallback strings on build, to save a bit of space for install/load
- Added automatic locale file unload after disuse to reduce memory use when no longer needed
- Significantly improved location/host/ip caching (which is now required, due to WebExt APIs)
- Implemented (partial) replacements for various features Mozilla abandoned with the WebExt transition (e.g. eTLD)
- Removed old grey question mark icon; replaced its last remaining use with the already-used globe icon
- Disabled actions that need a content script on protocols and Mozilla domains blocked by the WebExt API
- Added ability to handle default action favicons on non-standard paths; all should show, now (improvement over 5.x)
- Geotool action hotkey changed from Ctrl+Alt+G to Alt+Shift+G due to the very limited WebExtension hotkey API
- New default action hotclicks: “Check Server Status” on double-click and “Google Cache” on triple-click
- Various default action changes:
- Improved Page Metadata JS action to list everything it can find (with improved formatting)
- Netcraft & IntoDNS switched to HTTPS (only URL Parser & Traceroute remain without HTTPS support)
- Dropped Wave A11Y due to various issues, including over-active use throttling
- Dropped obsolete Validate.nu action, as it became a redirect to the main W3C Validator
- Demoted WOT from default menu to options-available, due to excessive popup ads (amongst other issues)
- Added: Is It Up? (alternative status checker), Built With, Mozilla Security Observatory, & Video Converter
- Dropped support for all Firefox/Gecko versions 24-55, which includes all versions of SeaMonkey up to current
(SeaMonkey support may be readded when they have a version that supports WebExtensions sufficiently)
(Unfortunately, Firefox 52 ESR support is also not possible, due to unavailable WebExtension API updates)
-> This Flagfox version supports Firefox 56+ (desktop), however some features require Firefox 57+ to work fully
-> Due to bugs in Mozilla’s WebExtension API, this support floor will increase further in future 6.x releases
