Latest version
Version 5.1.0
Released 19 Aug 2026 - 112.83 kBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later- Declared data collection as "none" — Firefox now requires every extension to declare its data collection permissions, and this extension collects nothing.
- Raised the minimum Firefox version to 140.0 (142.0 on Android), the versions that added support for that data collection declaration.
- Fixed the popup title not wrapping onto two lines as intended; the popup now has a fixed, compact width instead of stretching to fit the title on one line.
- Fixed footer links (changelog, issue tracker, source code) briefly navigating the popup itself before opening in a new tab.

Older versions
Version 5.0.1
Released 16 Aug 2026 - 112.14 kBWorks with firefox 128.0 and later- Manifest source split into
src/manifests/base.json,chrome.json, andfirefox.json(shared permissions/config with per-browser overrides). - Background script (
background.js) that initialises the default toggle state on install and migrates legacy string values to booleans on update. - Meeting ID format validation (10-11 decimal digits, matching Zoom's documented meeting ID formats) before performing a redirect.
- Upgraded Firefox build from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3.
- Minimum Firefox version raised from 79.0 to 128.0 (required for Manifest V3 support).
browser_actionreplaced withaction(MV3 API).chrome.browserAction.setIconreplaced withchrome.action.setIcon(MV3 API).- Toggle state stored as a boolean instead of the legacy strings
"true"/"false". toggle.jsandgetManifest.jsmerged into a singlepopup.js.- Content script now runs at
document_startinstead ofdocument_idlefor faster redirects. - Redirect uses
window.location.replace()instead ofwindow.location.assign()to prevent a back-navigation loop to the original URL. style.jsFOUC fallback usesdocument.createElementinstead ofinsertAdjacentHTML.- Extension's store description rewritten to describe the actual behaviour (automating Zoom's "Join from your browser" link) instead of the vaguer "redirects meetings to the web client" framing.
redirect.jsnow checks the URL before touchingchrome.storage, instead of the other way around: the content script runs on every Zoom page (not just join/start links), so most page loads no longer trigger a storage read at all.
- Manifest V2 support.
activeTabpermission (was never required for the extension's functionality).
- Firefox: replaced
background.service_workerwithbackground.scripts, since Firefox MV3 does not supportservice_workerand requiresscripts(array) for the background script declaration. package-lock.jsonwas gitignored despitenpm cirequiring it; the lockfile is now committed.package-lock.jsonwas stale and only listedarchiver, missingeslint,@eslint/js,globals, andmarked;npm ciwould have failed on a clean checkout. Regenerated to matchpackage.json.- Popup's version label (
#addon_version) never received its intended styling:style.csstargeted#addon-version(hyphen) while the markup usedaddon_version(underscore), so the rule silently never matched. - Firefox:
zoom.us/zoomgov.commatch patterns were declared underpermissionsinstead ofhost_permissions, whichaddons-linterrejects forstrict_min_version128.0+; moved tohost_permissionsto match the Chrome manifest.
