Coming soon: Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive support in Read Next

Many of you have asked that Read Next, the reading list extension for Firefox from AE Creations, should have more choice of cloud file hosts to connect to for syncing your reading list. Currently, Dropbox is the only supported cloud file host.

Since this is a popular request, I've decided to revisit Read Next to add support for Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. This will be available in an upcoming new version -- but for those of you who are keen in being one of the first to try it out, keep an eye out on this blog for a beta release announcement and a call for testers.

• 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.

Monthly update: January 2026

Happy New Year! With a new year comes exciting possibilities and ideas for new projects. There are a few ideas that I'm still thinking about -- but other than that, I have a clearer picture of what I'll be working on in January.

On New Year's Day, I deployed improvements to the AE Creations website. There's a new site navigation menu to organize the extensions by host application to reduce crowding on the navigation bar and make room for future expansion.

The new site navigation menu. 

Look for minor updates to the AE Creations extensions over the next few days. I'm also going to start working on some projects, beginning with experimentation and development of prototypes. Some of these will become new versions of existing products, while others could be entirely new.
