Can't get Tab Mix Plus to work

Just started using Firefox Developer in the last 3 days and I can't for the life of me get Tab Mix Plus to work properly.

I have used this add-on for years with mostly success, a few glitches here and there, nothing too annoying thankfully but since downloading the Developer Edition, I just can't get any of the settings to work.

It will not open all new links or any new links from anywhere in a new tab even though it is set as such. It also will not use Multi-Row tabbing even though again, the setting tells it to.

I have removed and re-installed it several times and no change.

Am I missing something.

As I have just built a new computer and have only been working with firefox for a week, there aren't even enough add-ons installed to be causing a problem yet.

Any advice welcome.....:(

Try using the development version on this page for Firefox 40 and higher: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/versions/

If that doesn't work, you could post on their forum: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/index.php

Thank you so much, this helped me tremendously - I'm not quite sure why I didn't find these releases myself, possibly distracted and trying to research too many things at once.

The current developer version is working much better, I also notice that missing sub tabs have reappeared from the options panel with information in them as opposed to being blank - all of my tab options are now also working.

Lets hope it stays that way.

Grateful

Kind Regards.
