ScribeFire Goes to the Opera

Christopher Finke — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 03:53:28 +0000

ScribeFire is now available for the Opera Web browser; you can install it from the Opera Extensions website. Support for uploading images is still in progress, but everything else should work just as it does in ScribeFire for Chrome or ScribeFire Next for Firefox.

For those of you not aware, Opera is a Web browser that has been around since 1996; it’s not as widespread on the desktop as Firefox or Chrome, but it is the most popular mobile Web browser, and it’s also the browser that powers the Internet channel on the Nintendo Wii. (Odds are you’ve used Opera without even knowing it.) We’re happy to have ScribeFire be one of the first extensions available for Opera, and we hope that it can be one of the most popular as well.

ScribeFire 3.5.3.2 Un-Released

Christopher Finke — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 03:09:04 +0000

ScribeFire 3.5.3.2 was released yesterday, but today we had to remove it, as a large number of users reported that it caused their toolbar icons to disappear. ScribeFire 3.5.3.3 has been uploaded to the Mozilla Add-ons site; it is simply a copy of the previous version, 3.5.3.1.

Sorry for the inconvenience; we’re trying to figure out what went wrong, and we’ll have it fixed for the next update.
