Clippings 6.1.1 released!

This update to Clippings 6.1, which was released just yesterday, contains a few bug fixes as well as a fix for cosmetic issues on Firefox 64. It is now available from Mozilla Add-ons and the AE Creations website.

If you already have Clippings installed, it will be upgraded for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Add-ons Manager (Tools → Add-ons), then right-click on the entry for Clippings in the list of installed extensions and choose Find Updates.

What's New
  • Bug fix: Issues with backup reminder settings in extension preferences and first-time backup dialog (issue #247)
  • Bug fix: After turning off Sync Clippings, the old Synced Clippings folder incorrectly retains its special icon (issue #244).  NOTE: This bug fix will be visible on Firefox 64 and newer.
  • Bug fix: Message box alert icons missing in Firefox 64 (issue #234)
For a full list of all the new features and improvements in Clippings 6.1, see the previous blog post.

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.
  • 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.  The current release of the Sync Clippings Helper is 1.0 beta 3; watch this blog for news on an official 1.0 release of the helper app, which is coming soon.

Known Issues
  • The ordering of clippings and folders in the Synced Clippings folder won't be preserved if syncing between Firefox and Thunderbird. This issue doesn't occur if syncing only between multiple instances of Firefox.
