Known Problems Ther is the list of known bugs.

  • This extension sometimes causes crush when you show popup menus or load webpages, because it intrudes into operations about loading pages, showing popups, etc. Please don't use it if you would like to use stable browser.
  • Sometimes menus in the menubar aren't focused when they opened by their keyboard shortcuts.
  • The menu, opened by the keyboard shortcut, is kept open when you cancel the FullScreen Mode with the keyboard shortcut (F11).
  • On MacOS X, unrequested keyboard shortcuts work in input fields.
  • We cannot get selection text in multiline-textfields correctly. (This seems to be a bug of Mozilla...)
  • Sometimes, user-defined menuitems are hidden when you edit their properties from browser window.
