Firefox and Chrome Extension Update

Firefox Quantum was released last month. We are happy to announce that version 1.10.1 of our "BibSonomy Buttons" extension is fully compatible with the new Firefox version.

Firefox now supports the Browser Extensions standard, the same API that our Chrome extension uses. We adapted our Chrome browser extension to also work with Firefox to only develop one extension for both browser.

Furthermore, we also updated the shortcut feature. Instead of using our own implementation, we now use the commands API. The default shortcuts are:
  • myBibsonomy: Ctrl+Shift+Y (macOS: Ctrl+Shift+H)
  • save bookmark: Ctrl+Shift+X (macOS: Ctrl+Shift+B)
  • save publication: Ctrl+Shift+V (macOS: Ctrl+Shift+P)
We also published a new version of our Chrome extension. Please visit the Chrome Web Store for more information.

Happy browsing and tagging,
Daniel
