  • Latest version

    Version 1.1.5

    Released Aug 27, 2026 - 396.55 KB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    Fix export failures reported by users (1.1.4)

    Export path
    • Stop switching tabs during export. Activating the WhatsApp tab
      closed the popup, which killed the run with no error shown.
    • Move export to a port connection so the popup can show live
      progress and the scroll loop stops if the popup closes.
    • Add a preflight check in the popup that reports which
      precondition failed instead of a generic error.
    • Inject content.js on demand when a tab has no content script,
      replacing the "reload the page" instruction. Adds the scripting
      permission, scoped to web.whatsapp.com.
    • Guard against double injection registering listeners twice.

    Selectors
    • Use data-testid attributes as primary selectors, falling back to
      the previous English text matching. Fixes "could not open group
      info" on non-English WhatsApp UI.
    • Raise drawer wait from 5s to 8s.
    • Normalise bidi marks and Arabic-Indic digits before parsing.

    Correctness
    • Never click an unidentified button when looking for "View all".
      In a group with no such control the old matcher hit "Add members"
      and exported the user's entire address book as the group.
    • Scrape the drawer directly for groups small enough to have no
      "View all" control. These previously failed with "no members found".
    • Read the phone number from multi-line secondary cells. Unsaved
      members who had set a status lost their number entirely.
    • Scope every lookup to the participants section. In a 1:1 chat the
      search reached the left chat list and scrolled it for ten seconds
      before failing.
    • Only send Escape while a panel is open. The unconditional second
      press closed the user's chat after exporting a small group.
    • Close the drawer on the failure path too.

    Other
    • Capitalise WhatsApp in the extension name.
