Zombie Keys (Multilanguage Keyboard) Version History

25 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 2.22 297.6 KiB Works with Thunderbird 60.0 - 68.*

  • Made compatible with Thundeerbird 68. Well I think so - that's all folks.

Version 2.21.1 292.0 KiB Works with SeaMonkey 2.0 - 2.49.*, Thunderbird 34.0 - 60.*

  • Made install.rdf compatible with Thunderbird 60
  • Removed donation tab when updating ZombieKeys.
  • Removed obsolete Addon Manager interface.

Version 2.20 307.4 KiB Works with Firefox 34.0 - 56.*, SeaMonkey 2.0 - 2.49.*, Thunderbird 34.0 - 60.*

Note: If you want to use Zombiekeys with a reasonably recent, 64bit version of FIrefox, please try Waterfox. It's pretty awesome and still supports XUL addons. Plus it still has rounded tabs :)
To use in Waterfox, open about:config and set extensions.legacy.enabled = true

Version 2.19 304.4 KiB Works with Firefox 34.0 - 56.*, SeaMonkey 2.0 - 2.49.*, Thunderbird 34.0 - 52.*

  • [Bug 26309] Added Spanish keyboard layout
  • Added Spanish Locale - thanks to strel at Babelzilla.org
  • Added support for Firefox Pale Moon:

    Mozilla is going to eventually terminate XUL based addons, so it is important that
    our functionality stays supported on this Firefox fork. Here is a Mozilla blog post explaining their plans.

    There are also some changes planned around a new programming model called Electrolysis (e10s) which may break functionality of addons that try to insert content into any browser tab. It may become the standard in a near future release of Firefox and would also affect Zombiekeys.

    Please consider donating to help developing e10s compatibility for the future of Firefox.</p>
