Clippings 6.4 released!

Clippings 6.4 is the newest version of the Firefox extension that lets you save frequently-entered text for later pasting into web page forms and messages. It is now available from Firefox Add-ons and the AE Creations website. Clippings 6.4 is compatible with Firefox 91 and newer.

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), click on the entry for Clippings in the list of installed extensions, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Check for Updates.

What's New

  • Improvements to keyboard navigation in windows and dialogs (issue #369)
  • It's no longer necessary to restart Firefox after changing the "Run in Private Windows" setting for Clippings (issue #381)
  • Improved reliability of undoing and redoing actions on a synced clipping or folder after reloading the Synced Clippings folder in Clippings Manager (issue #384)
  • Added ability to import data from Text Snippets (Chrome extension) (issue #374)
  • Minor visual refresh for buttons and dialogs

  • Some features may not be available when Firefox is in Private Browsing mode, or if the browser privacy settings are too restrictive.
