Simple Locale Switcher Version History

26 versions

Be careful with old versions!

These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

Version 1.0.2 86.8 KiB Works with Firefox 52.0 - 56.*, SeaMonkey 2.46 - 2.49.*, Thunderbird 52.0 - 56.*

  • Fixed: in Firefox Nightly 57, the list of available locales was not being built neither in the toolbar button nor in the languages window of the add-on, making impossible to switch between languages.
    Note that due to addons.mozilla.org having recently marked all legacy add-ons as strictly not compatible with Firefox 57.0, this release could not be offered as an automatic update to Nightly users having still enabled the usage of legacy extensions; it can be installed manually though.
