User reviews
love this extension, but quick reblog seems to have stopped working on firefox. I don't have new xkit installed, for reference
UPDATE: refreshed the site and it finally started working again. no idea what that was about
xkit rewritten apparently doesn't work for firefox anymore (at least it doesn't work for me) but i'll always love it. so i would like a moment to thank april for creating and updating this.
