Ubiquity Updates, Breaks All My SEO Commands (And a Fix)

Ubiquity, a Firefox plugin enabling custom javascript commands usage, has updated to version 0.5 which features, among other changes, a new parser for the commands (a.k.a. Parser 2). This parser requires its own command syntax and due to that a lot of custom commands, including my SEO commands, got disabled.

I tried digging into the issue a bit today but it’s not very obvious (to me, at least) how to quickly fix or rewrite my commands. Yet’ it’s something I use on a daily basis and hence need them fully functional. I know some of you have adopted these commands as well and will probably suffer just the same without them so here goes an alternative fix that will let you use the commands for now.

When you update Ubiquity to version 0.1.9, it offers to download Ubiquity 0.5 which is the newest release. Either do not do it or if you have downloaded and installed Ubiquity 0.5, go to Settings (in your Ubiquity window, type “help” or  type “about:ubiquity” in your Firefox address line, then click “Settings” in the Ubiquity help page), scroll down to Language Settings and uncheck the checkbox “Use Parser 2”. Restart your Firefox and you’re all set.
