Clippings 7.1 released!

Clippings 7.1 is the newest version of the Firefox extension from AE Creations that saves frequently-entered text for later pasting into web page forms. It comes with many improvements that builds upon the solid foundation of Clippings 7.0, making this the best version yet. Now available from Firefox Add-ons and the AE Creations website!

If you already have an older version of Clippings installed, it will be updated for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Add-ons Manager (from the Firefox menu, select "Extensions and Themes"), 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

  • New option to paste an HTML-formatted clipping into an HTML editor as plain text
  • Brought back the option to show the Paste As dialog when pasting an HTML-formatted clipping, a feature that existed prior to Clippings 6.0
  • The height of the preview pane in Clippings Sidebar can now be adjusted
  • Improvements to undo in Clippings Manager. Also, you can now reverse the last undo ("undo undo") by pressing Ctrl+Y on Windows, ⇧⌘Z on macOS, and Ctrl+Shift+Z on Linux. The F2 keyboard shortcut is still supported
  • Eliminated the confirmation dialog that appeared when reloading the Synced Clippings folder in Clippings Manager or Clippings Sidebar
  • Clippings will now display an error message if the Sync Clippings data size exceeds the limit of 1 megabyte

Things You Should Know About

  • Some features may not be available when Firefox is in Private Browsing mode, or if the browser privacy settings are too restrictive.
  • While Clippings works on the vast majority of web sites, some are now preventing pasting into text boxes. If pasting doesn't work, copy the clipping from Clippings Manager or Clippings Sidebar by right-clicking on it and selecting Copy Clipping Text. You can then paste the clipping into the web page by selecting Paste from the browser context menu. 

Compatibility

Clippings 7.1 is compatible with Firefox 140 and newer, as well as Firefox 140 ESR.
