Update please. The extension no longer works.

I think it's broken atm. I logged into twitter and the page wouldn't load. Just a spinning wheel where posts would be. I can see partial parts of twitter, header, left & right columns but they are not complete. Had to turn it off to see posts. Edit: I tried a couple of other 'Old UIs apps" for tiwt and the same thing is happening. Not sure what's causing this.
