Clippings 6.1.3.1 released!

This is an important update to version 6.1.3 which fixes a major bug that affects the Keyboard Paste dialog when searching for a clipping by name. 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: On Firefox 65, unable to use up- and down-arrow keys to select autocomplete menu options in the Keyboard Paste dialog when searching for clipping by name (issue #257)

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.

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.
