Clippings 6.1 beta 4 released!

Following the release of Clippings 6.1 beta 3 earlier this week, another beta is now available, which fixes a leftover bug that was unresolved in beta 3.

As is the case with the previous beta releases, it is being made available for testing, and although it is in a fairly stable beta-quality state, expect to encounter the inevitable bugs.

What's New

See the blog post for Clippings 6.1 beta 2 for a full list of all the new features and improvements in version 6.1. Below is a list of changes since the beta 3 release:

• Bug fix: Duplicated menu items appearing on Clippings menu on startup (issue #236)

Things You Should Know About

• Clippings 6.1 requires Firefox 60 or newer.
• Clippings won't work in Private Browsing mode, or if the browser privacy settings are too restrictive. Your clippings will not be accessible, and new clippings cannot be created.

Known Issues

• If Sync Clippings is turned on and a backup is restored in Clippings Manager, the Sync Clippings folder is deleted (issue #232). Workaround: open the Clippings preferences page, then turn off Sync Clippings and turn it back on.
• The ordering of clippings and folders in the Synced Clippings folder won't be preserved if syncing between Firefox and Thunderbird. This issue shouldn't occur if syncing only between multiple instances of Firefox.

How to Get It

IMPORTANT! If you are already using Clippings and want to try the beta release, back up your clippings first before installing the 6.1 beta.

If you are a current beta tester with a previous 6.1 beta release installed, you must uninstall it first, then quit and restart Firefox, then install 6.1 beta 4. Make sure you back up your clippings first before uninstalling Clippings. It is not necessary to reinstall the Sync Clippings Helper, if the Sync Clippings feature is turned on.

To install this beta release, head over to the Clippings 6.1 beta 4 page on GitHub. Look for the link to clippings-6.1b4.xpi, then click on it to install.

If you want to use Sync Clippings, you'll need to download and install the Sync Clippings helper app. More information and download links can be found on the Sync Clippings page on the AE Creations website. The Sync Clippings Helper app is currently available for Windows only.
