This is a release candidate of an upcoming new version of Clippings for Firefox. It is being made available to testers and early adopters who want to try it the latest and greatest. Unless there are any last-minute showstopper bugs, this may become the official release.

Read on to learn what's new in Clippings 6.2, and how to get it.

What's New

• Clippings now supports Dark Mode system themes on macOS and Windows. The dark-colored theme is automatically applied to Clippings windows and dialogs (for example, Clippings Manager and the extension preferences page) when Dark Mode is activated on your system.
• You can now choose how you want the date or time to be formatted for the $[DATE] and $[TIME] placeholders; for example, the date with the day of the week included, or the time given in the 24-hour clock. To add a formatted date or time placeholder to your clipping, open Clippings Manager, turn on the Placeholder Toolbar (Tools → Show/Hide menu), then from the toolbar, click Presets and select Formatted Date/Time
• For Sync Clippings users, there's a new option to only show synced clippings and folders on the Clippings menu. To activate it, go to the extension preferences, then under Sync Clippings, click Settings.
• Brought back the ability to redo an action in Clippings Manager. To redo an action (undo an undo), press F2.
• New option to add the date to the backup file name
• Many other fixes and improvements
