A minor update to Clippings for Thunderbird, the extension that saves frequently-entered text for later pasting into email messages, has been released and is now available from Add-ons for Thunderbird and the AE Creations website. Compatible with Thunderbird 128 and newer.
If you already have an older version of Clippings for Thunderbird installed, it will be updated for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Add-ons Manager (from the Thunderbird menu, click Add-ons), click on the entry for Clippings for Thunderbird in the list of installed extensions, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Check for Updates.
What's New
- Bug fix: On Linux, checkboxes are misaligned in Clippings Manager, New Clipping dialog and extension preferences page (issue #204)

Things You Should Know About
- Users of Clippings for Thunderbird version 5.7 or earlier should take note: Clippings will no longer automatically import your clippings data when upgrading from those old versions. Export your clippings now (select the "Clippings 6" data format) so that you can import them when you're ready to upgrade Clippings to version 7.0 or newer.
- Additional add-on permissions are now required for some features. When
turning on Sync Clippings or performing clipboard
actions for the first time, a message box will appear, indicating the
permission requested and how to grant it. If you're upgrading from Clippings for Thunderbird 6.3 or older, the
necessary permission for Sync Clippings will already be enabled.
- If you want to use Sync Clippings, 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.
