Older versions
Version 1.13.218
Released Aug 22, 2026 - 3.75 MBWorks with firefox 150.0 and later- Force Banner Display: Right-click a Favorites section → "Force Banner Display" makes all tiles render full-bleed (uniform album-style). Toggle off the same way. Persists per section.
- Bulk AI descriptions: Right-click a section header → "Generate Descriptions" queues all tiles for AI description generation (~5-10s per tile, runs in background); will regenerate existing description too. Label flips to "Regenerate Descriptions" when all tiles already have one. For specific tiles only: Ctrl+click to select, then click ✨ on the selection bar.In addition, all descriptions can be bulk cleared out with the relevant button.
- High-quality favicon caching: Page favicons (apple-touch-icon, 180px PNGs) are now cached as data:URIs for offline use. Tiles in Favorites auto-display as banners when the cached icon is high-quality.
- Help & Docs link: About modal now has a "Help & Docs" section linking to a bundled plain-text reference.
- Include site descriptions toggle: AI Settings → Advanced → Context Sources → turn off to save tokens (search still works — RAG matches descriptions regardless).
!helpis fast now: Was triggering Find function. Now loads only the help doc (~2K tokens, ~10s). No more personal bookmarks/history in help responses.- Removed icons now stay removed: Auto-fetched tile icons were being re-added after edit. Fixed + one-time migration clears any existing remote-URL icons on upgrade.
- AI gives links in
!findresponses: Was just listing titles. Now includes URLs (syill unreliable due to AI size). - Improved AI behavior: Stopped echoing
!find X,[Help RAG results],[Return to user's language]and similar system-prompt text. - RAG finds more bookmarks: Added multi-keyword boost (+50% per matched keyword), phrase match bonus (+5 when keywords appear adjacent in description), and prefix matching in descriptions (Ukraine ↔ Ukrainian, books ↔ book, etc.). Single-keyword matches no longer crowd out bookmarks matching the user's full intent.
- Favicon cache survives restart: Reduced save debounce (3s → 1s), added beforeunload flush, and background-script caching path. Favicons persist reliably across sessions.
- Dedup keeps descriptions: When the same URL is in both Firefox bookmarks and StartHorizon shortcuts, the version with an AI description wins (was: Firefox version always won, losing the description).
- The magnifying glass icon in the toolbar popup is now clickable: Clicking it submits the search (same as pressing Enter). Cursor changes to pointer on hover, icon brightens on hover, and it's keyboard-accessible (Tab to focus, Enter/Space to submit).
- One-time migration on first load: any tile with a remote-URL custom icon (auto-fetched before v1.13.210) is reset to use the favicon cache path. User-uploaded custom icons are preserved.
