Art's Thoughts

NAMFox 1.5 Released






After what seems like forever, I've advanced NAMFox to a point where I am happy with the latest release. There are a lot of new features, a lot of bugs that were fixed, and overall, (I hope!) a much richer Neoseeker experience.

If you have any questions about new features, be sure to check out the new NAMFox 1.5 FAQ.

You may also notice a button in the NAMFox forum header for donations. NAMFox will always remain free, but it is something that takes a lot of care and time to get right. Including all the new features, bug fixes, rewrites, blogs, and troubleshooting, this release has taken about 400 hours of work. If you really find that NAMFox helps you, I'd ask you to consider donating. But, no pressure. :P

Cheers,
Artificer

To Update:




  • Q: How do I update NAMFox?
      NAMFox is compatible with Firefox's automatic updates feature for add-ons. Usually, Firefox will automatically alert you when a new version of NAMFox is available. However, if you want to force updates, go to the "Tools" menu and click on "Add-Ons." Then click on the "Find Updates" button in the bottom left of the window.

      Is This Any Different From 1.5 Beta, And Is It A Big Enough Change For Me To Download It?

        Probably not, but Firefox will eventually prompt you to download it anyway. lol

        I wonder if I'm the only person who glanced at this comment and decided instantly it wasn't worth reading.

        Cheers Art. Another solid update.

      My biggest praise is that fireshot(another addon I assume most of you have) works with namfox now. Fireshot used to disable namfox which meant disabled fireshot. )):

      latest FF update jacked up namfoxy. Makes it time-out rather than refresh the page with your post submitted.
