Panic Button 4.4 released!

A new version of Panic Button has been released, and is now available for download from Mozilla Add-ons and the AE Creations website.

If you already have an older version of Panic Button installed, it will be upgraded for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Add-ons Manager (Tools → Add-ons), click on the entry for Panic Button in the list of installed extensions, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Check for Updates.

What's New

• New menu options added to the Panic Button toolbar button context menu, allowing you to change the toolbar button in just a few clicks, or go to the extension preferences page. To show the context menu, right-click on the Panic Button toolbar button (issue #61 and #70)
• New option in extension preferences for snoozing inactive browser tabs when restoring the browser session after invoking the Hide and Replace action (issue #64)
• When restoring the browser session after invoking the Hide and Replace action, Panic Button will try to restore Reader Mode on those browser tabs that had it turned on (issue #65)
• The toolbar button icons now blends in better with the Light and Dark themes in Firefox 89 and newer (issue #71 and #73)
• Bug fix: Container tabs converted to normal tabs when restoring the browser session after invoking the Hide and Replace action (issue #74). This affected users who have installed the Firefox Multi-Account Containers add-on.

Things You Should Know About

• Panic Button 4.4 requires Firefox 78 or newer.  
• The Hide and Replace action won't work if Firefox is set to "Never remember history" in Privacy & Security settings.
