Substitutions work only on active tab

[Mattia2510MC]

I have a two monitor setup and I keep the tab that needs FoxReplace on the second monitor. The automatic substitution works only when the tab is active (only when I click on said tab FoxReplace works). I mainly work on the first monitor, so the tab on the second monitor is never active. Could you add an option to make FoxReplace work on all open tab, not only the active/loaded one?

[Mattia2510MC]

Ok found the problem. In foxreplace/scripts/background.js you wrote

function replaceCurrentTab(aMessage) { browser.tabs.query({ currentWindow: true, active: true }).then(tabs => { if (tabs[0]) browser.tabs.sendMessage(tabs[0].id, aMessage); }); }

Would it be possible to add an option to make the script run on all visible tabs or directly on all open tabs?

This method only applies to manual and periodic substitutions. Are you referring to periodic substitutions?

[Mattia2510MC]

Yes, I need period substitutions to work on a tab that is open on a second screen. This page is dynamically updated so apply substitutions on page load doesn't work

[Woundorf]

OK, I can modify this to apply to all visible tabs in case of periodic substitutions.

[Mattia2510MC]

Not to be rude, but is there an ETA for this fix? This extension is crucial to me and that's the only thing missing

[Woundorf]

Hopefully soon.

I have already done it and released a new version.
