Version 0.86.5 released

A new version (0.86.5) of the outbrain firefox extension has just been released. We HIGHLY recommend upgrading to this, as it solves many of the items requested by outbrain users and a bunch of bugs.

The biggest change is that you can now vote on any article / blog post that you read (no more N/A dead ends, as we described here...). We're keeping a quick confirmation filter on pages that do not conform to the permalink URL structure, with the hope that this keeps voting noise down to a minimum. Please tell us what you think.

The other visible change is that "Flashing stars" bug is now fixed - Many of you noted that the voter in the status bar sometimes got stuck in progress bar mode infinitely, making the stars blink like it was 1997 all over again... This is now fixed.

To install the extension - go to Tools > Extensions in firefox, and hit the 'Look for updates' button. Next to outbrain you should now see an 'Install' button. Hit that, and then restart firefox.

If you don't have the extension installed, you can get it here:
