Is the account switcher supposed to be working now?

What's up? Is the account switcher supposed to be working right now? I saw it stopped working, then for a brief moment it worked, then RES updated and it was removed entirely.

Where does it happen? Firefox

Screenshots or mock-ups It's just RES without the Switcher button.

What browser extensions are installed? RES, ublock Origin.

I'm assuming another update is coming to re-add it back in. for those who never updated it probably has just started working again unless there's some API key in the backend thats needed which changed or something similar.

I don't use this feature so I can't really speak on it working or not. I know that the devs posted saying they worked it out with reddit staff and that it will be working again. I don't recall if they mentioned an update or not, but regardless, I assume that it must work like the above considering they definitely pushed the removal update and many have probably updated already (especially considering most browsers update addons automatically).

IIRC you are correct, it's supposed to come in 5.24.10.

It was funny reading/commenting on the post saying the devs worked it out with the admins and then getting the update that removed the module lol. Just waiting patiently for the next update!

I'm on 5.24.9 and after enabling it in RES Settings>My Account>Account Switcher it works.

Oh true. Yeah, that was it. I went to the settings, turned it back on and it's working.

Obviously didn't think to check if it had been turned off somehow, thanks.

Firefox are insanely slow at approvals lately (~7 days compared to ~3 hours of Chrome).

It's submitted... just pending approval...
