Localize Check Links using Crowdin

Check Links, the Thunderbird extension that lets you review the links in a draft message before sending, is now available on Crowdin for localization.

If you're fluent in English and another world language and would like to help translate Check Links, you're invited to join the Crowdin project! New translations will be reviewed and added to future releases.

Monthly update: April 2026

Firefox 149 introduces Split View, a new feature that lets you view two browser tabs side by side. Panic Button, the extension that hides all browser windows with a click of a button, doesn't currently support Split View. If the Panic Button action is set to Hide and Replace, the tabs that were joined in Split View at the time the Panic Button action was triggered will be separated out when the browser windows are restored. A fix for this issue is not yet available, so it's something to keep in mind for now.

Minor updates for Clippings and Read Next were recently released with updates to the French localization. Thanks to the Crowdin contributors that provided the updated translations! If you're interested in having my Firefox and Thunderbird extensions translated in your language, consider contributing them to the Crowdin project for the extension; links can be found in the extension home page on the AE Creations website.

My biggest priority for this month is the project that I've been alluding to in my recent monthly updates. Below is a screenshot -- more details to come!

Things You Should Know About

  • Thunderbird Users: This version of Clippings is designed for Firefox and is not compatible with Thunderbird. Get Clippings for Thunderbird, which is compatible with Thunderbird 140 and newer.
  • 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.
