Latest version
Version 1.8.4
Released Oct 24, 2026 - 82.47 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterNew
• X Dim Mode is now called Dim Mode for Twitter / X. Same extension, same settings, nothing to do.
Fixed
• The popup no longer shows three developer test buttons (Email, Engage, Welcome). They were meant for local testing only, but showed up for everyone outside the Chrome Web Store.
• Chat panels that were already open when the extension loaded could stay black. They now turn dim too.Source code released under MIT License
Older versions
Version 1.8.3
Released Oct 9, 2026 - 81.59 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterFixed
• Chat was black again. X rebuilt Chat in a way the dim colors couldn't reach, so the whole chat screen, the passcode screen and the conversation info panel went back to black. They're dim again, and dialogs in Chat now get the classic blue-grey backdrop.Source code released under MIT License
Version 1.8.2
Released Sep 24, 2026 - 79.88 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterFixed
• The box you type DMs into was still black. X moved Chat to a new set of colors, which Dim now covers.
• Some Creator Studio popups were still black, like the "How payouts work" window behind the ? on Original Content Rewards.Source code released under MIT License
Version 1.8.1
Released Sep 20, 2026 - 79.52 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterFixed
• "Copy link first" now works when you're signed in to X. X lays out its menus differently for signed-in users, and 1.8.0 only handled the signed-out layout. Thanks to Eliran for reporting it.Source code released under MIT License
Version 1.8.0
Released Sep 18, 2026 - 78.6 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterNew
• Copy link first (Extras) — X moved Copy link below Send via Chat in the share menu. Turn this on and it goes back to the top, where it used to be.
• A small dot on the toolbar icon when a new Extra lands. It clears as soon as you open Extras, and nothing else ever puts it there.
• "Leave a review" links in Extras and on the update screen. Firefox users are now sent to addons.mozilla.org — the link used to point at the Chrome Web Store.
Changed
• If you ever closed the review prompt, it now waits 90 days instead of never asking again.
• The add-on now declares that the optional newsletter field sends your email address (only if you type one in) — the previous version under-reported this.

Version 1.7.0
Released Aug 14, 2026 - 70.02 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterNew
• Classic image grid (Extras) — multi-image posts go back to a grid instead of X's side-scrolling carousel, so nothing is hidden off-screen.
• Extras is easier to find: a labelled row in the popup instead of a small sparkle icon, now grouped into Look and Timeline.
• X Dim Mode now runs on Firefox for Android as well as desktop.
Fixed
• Turning Dim off actually turns it off. The toggle used to leave the page dimmed until a reload, and the setting could switch itself back on.
• "Tweet, not Post" now also renames the big compose button in the sidebar — the most visible "Post" on the page, which it used to miss.
• The interface lays out right-to-left in Arabic.
