Due to ongoing unresolved issues with the Delicious APIs, especially the constant "error saving link" errors, I have decided to discontinue Delicious Post.
The Mozilla Add-ons page for Delicious Post has been deactivated, and the Delicious Post page on the AE Creations website has been taken down. Downloads are no longer available; however, the Delicious Post forum will remain active.
If you already have Delicious Post installed, you can continue to use it (and put up with the ongoing errors originating from the Delicious Post API), but because development of Delicious Post has ended, no new features or bug fixes will be available.
Delicious Post is confirmed to be functioning with multi-process browser tabs (a.k.a. Electrolysis or e10s) -- for now.
Current users should consider looking at alternatives, such as the Delicious bookmarklet that is available from their website.
Delicious Post has been one of my favourite add-ons to work on. Years ago, I had forked the original "post to del.icio.us" add-on which was no longer maintained, and added a few features to make it better while maintaining its lightweight simplicity. I'm a Delicious user myself, so I counted myself as one of its avid users. It's regrettable that it has come to this, but having struggled with poorly-documented third party APIs that are outside my control and for which there are no known workarounds to its issues, I felt that this was the best course of action.
Thanks to all of its users, past and present, for their support.

Compatibility of AE Creations extensions with Firefox nightly builds and Firefox Developer Edition
There are upcoming new features and underlying changes to Firefox which will cause the AE Creations extensions to stop working. If you are using the stable release of Firefox (version 42 at the time of this writing), then this won't impact you. However, if you are using Firefox Developer Edition (formerly known as Aurora) or Firefox Beta, then you need to be aware of a few things.
Multi-process Tabs
In a nutshell, this new feature, sometimes referred to as Electrolysis or e10s, runs the web page content and the browser chrome code in separate processes.
Clippings, Panic Button, Send Tab URLs and Delicious Post will all break. If you want to run these extensions in Firefox Beta or Firefox Developer Edition, turn off multi-process tabs. You can do this in the browser preferences page. These extensions will be updated over the next few months to support Electrolysis, so stay tuned.
Clippings users on Thunderbird should not be impacted by this change.
JavaScript Compatibility with ECMAScript 6 (ES6)
There are changes to Firefox to make its JavaScript engine compliant with the new ES6 standard, but will cause extensions to fail unless they are updated. Some of the code in Clippings required updating, and this was completed during development of the upcoming 5.0 release. No updates were needed for the other AE Creations extensions.
Some users have reported that Clippings has stopped working on Firefox 44 alpha (the current Firefox Developer Edition version) because of the ES6 compatibility change that was introduced in this Firefox release. To work around this issue, install the latest beta release of Clippings 5.0.

Delicious website issues may affect Delicious Post
Delicious is currently undergoing a data center move, but there are outstanding issues which is affecting Delicious Post. (Delicious is owned by Science LLC, and AE Creations is not affiliated with it, nor has any involvement in the Delicious website.)
These issues may cause problems when posting links to your Delicious page. You may receive error messages such as "error posting link" or "504 GATEWAY_TIMEOUT".
All I can say is to try posting again later. There isn't much else I can suggest, as these errors are being relayed back from the Delicious service.

Error in Delicious Post when posting a page or link to Delicious
Ever since Delicious was taken over by Science Inc. (its third owner, after changing hands from its original founder to Yahoo!, then to AVOS), there have been some strange, intermittent errors reported by some users -- and noticed by Yours Truly as well. (Yes, I use my own extension daily and consider myself its Number One user. Feel free to peruse my Delicious bookmarks at your leisure.)
(Non-)Error When Posting
Sometimes, when posting a page or link to Delicious using Delicious Post, it takes a long time for the posting to occur, as evident by the animated status bar icon which never seems to go away. Afterwards, you may get an error such as the following:
The message may be different; it may read: "Failed to post to Delicious: error adding link."
In the past, the bookmark for the page or link you were trying to post with Delicious Post was not created because of these errors. But now, despite these errors, your new Delicious bookmark may be successfully created. Log in to your Delicious page to confirm.
These mysterious errors are coming from Delicious.com; Delicious Post is simply relaying these errors back to you.
Authentication Failed
If you try to post a page or link using Delicious Post, you may get the error: "Authentication failed." The bookmark will not be created.
If this happens, try opening a new browser tab, log in to your Delicious account, then try again.
Don't log out of the Delicious website; simply close the browser tab. As long as your Delicious website login remains active, you won't get this error anymore.
This error may be a consequence of Delicious Post relying on the old authentication mechanism, as opposed to the new OAuth 2.0 API that should be used. I've never been able to get that to work due to the inaccurate OAuth documentation that the Science developers have provided. There is no developer forum for Delicious that I've seen, and an email that I sent to them has been ignored.
Update: The "Authentication failed" error will persist if Firefox is in Private Browsing mode, even if you are already logged in to Delicious.com. Unfortunately, this means that Delicious Post is not compatible with Private Browsing mode.

Delicious Post 1.5.1 released!
A minor release of Delicious Post is now available from Mozilla Add-ons and the AE Creations website.
This release addresses the recently-reported "Error adding link" error when attempting to save a web page to your Delicious bookmarks. More details below; interested readers should also have a look at the blog posting describing this issue for some context.

What's New
Things You Should Know About
The "Error adding link" error was caused by the presence of special characters (for example, the pipe symbol ("|"), em dash ("—"), bullet ("•"), etc.) in the title or description of the bookmark that was being saved. This error was coming from Delicious.com, which was rejecting the new bookmark because of the special characters.
While this minor release should fix the majority of cases, Delicious.com can't decode some of the special characters encoded by the Delicious Post add-on. For example, the em dash ("—"), bullet ("•") and chevron ("»") characters would have appeared as garbage characters when viewing your bookmark containing such characters on Delicious.com. For those known cases where this would occur, an appropriate substitute is made: for example, Delicious Post replaces the em dash with double hyphens ("--"), the bullet with a single hyphen ("-"), and the chevron with double angle brackets (">>").

"Error adding link" when using Delicious Post
Within the last few weeks, there have been reports from Delicious Post users where they are sometimes getting the error message, "Error adding link" when trying to post a link to Delicious. I've been experiencing this problem myself when using Delicious Post.
Delicious Post uses the Delicious web API (application programmer interface) to post a web page to one's Delicious account. Any errors from the Delicious side are simply relayed back.
It just so happens that Delicious was recently sold to another company, and these errors started happening shortly thereafter. Coincidence?
There is a workaround to this issue: check if the bookmark title and description contains any special characters, such as the pipe symbol ("|"), em dash ("—") and chevron ("«" and "»"). Try replacing such characters with something safe, such as a comma (","), hyphen ("-"), angle brackets ("<" and ">") -- or if all else fails, the question mark ("?") is always a fallback. Strangely enough, the error occurs when there is a single quote ("'") in either the bookmark title or description, and there isn't an easy substitute for that!
I will be preparing a fix which will require a minor release of Delicious Post. Until then, try the workaround described above. Thanks for your patience.

Breakage in Delicious Post due to Delicious relaunch
Delicious Post users take note: Due to changes introduced by yesterday's relaunch of Delicious, the Post to Delicious dialog doesn't save your tags correctly.
Until yesterday, you could specify multiple tags for a new bookmark by separating them with a space; for example, entering "aecreations extensions firefox" in the tag field would create a new bookmark with those three tags. Now, a single tag is created instead, named "aecreations extensions firefox".
A workaround to this is to separate each tag with a comma; for example, "aecreations, extensions, firefox". Spaces after the comma are allowed; they will be stripped out automatically.
A fix will be available shortly to change the instructions in the Post to Delicious dialog.
EDIT: This post has been corrected with information about spaces after the comma separating the tag names.

Delicious Post bug: Simplified Chinese translation is incomplete
The Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) translation for Delicious Post is incomplete. As a result, users that are running the Simplified Chinese version of Firefox with this extension will see missing or blank text in the Delicious Post dialog boxes and menu commands.
I've requested the translator on Babelzilla to translate the missing Simplified Chinese translations. This fix will require a new release of Delicious Post. Apologies to those users who are inconvenienced.

Delicious Post 1.1.1 and Panic Button 1.1.5 released!
New updates of Delicious Post and Panic Button are now available from Mozilla Add-ons and the AE Creations website. The updates fix a few bugs and adds translations for Swedish.
Using Delicious Post 1.1.1 For the First Time After Upgrading
Delicious Post 1.1.1 fixes a bug where the Delicious password was incorrectly URI-encoded in Firefox's password manager.
As a result, if you are upgrading Delicious Post from an older version (1.1. or older), you will need to re-enter your Delicious password in the Post To Delicious dialog when posting a link or page for the first time after the upgrade. You won't have to do this again afterwards unless you change your Delicious password.

[EDITED] The Delicious Post Extension: Implications of Yahoo!'s Sale of Delicious
Word came today that Delicious, the online social bookmarking website which Yahoo! acquired in 2005, has now been bought out by the founders of YouTube.
This caught my attention, since not only am I a loyal Delicious user, I am also maintaining a Firefox extension, Delicious Post, for adding bookmarks to Delicious. I was also interested to learn what this would mean for Delicious Post, because for quite some time I've been struggling to make it work with OAuth-based Yahoo! logins without much success. OAuth authentication is painful to implement, with so many steps to follow and a lot of room for errors, many of which are difficult to isolate given that they could originate from one's own code or from the code libraries being used (or unknowingly misused). The poorly-written Delicious OAuth documentation hasn't helped at all.
According to what I've read in a Delicious developer forum post, the old-skool Delicious logins will still function, but users with Yahoo! logins will have to migrate to using Delicious logins. So this means that I no longer have to worry about making Delicious Post work with OAuth authentication. Woo hoo!
What will this mean for current Delicious Post users? Since Delicious Post only supports the old-skool logins, current users can continue to use this Firefox add-on without any issues.
EDIT: Don't forget that you need to accept the new privacy policy and terms of service agreements in order to continue using Delicious beyond the transition from Yahoo! to AVOS, the company that is taking over Delicious. You should be prompted to do this when you visit your bookmarks on the Delicious website.

Yahoo! IDs not yet supported in Delicious Post
Delicious users who have recently signed up for a Delicious account with a Yahoo! ID have reported that a "Authentication failed" error message appears when they try to post a URL using the Delicious Post Firefox extension.
As it turns out, the authentication mechanism that is used in the underlying Delicious API is different for users with Yahoo! IDs. The so-called "old skool" Delicious logins still work, however.
A fix for this problem is in the works and will be released soon.

Delicious Post
A while ago, I came across del.icio.us post, a simple Firefox extension that lets you post a link or the current page to del.icio.us Delicious. It has just the basics you need to quickly create a del.icio.us Delicious bookmark to the current page, and while it lacked some features from the official Post to Delicious bookmarklet, it was still quite useful.
The author doesn't appear to be maintaining it anymore; but since the code is licensed under a Creative Commons license which permits modification of the work, I decided to start my own fork of this extension -- which, as it turns out, two others already exist (Post to del.icio.us and Jaggnito).
My version is named "Delicious Post" -- not only to distinguish it from the original extension, but to (grudgingly) reflect the new name given to this popular social bookmarking service.
» Download: Delicious Post 0.7.3 (10.5 KB; English (United States); compatible with Firefox 3.0-3.0.*)
This release introduces compatibility with Firefox 3, and includes some behind-the-scenes code fixes to give it a stable foundation for future planned enhancements. There are no new features in this release. Full details of changes can be found in the changelog.
Why?
Because eventually, I want to add a few additional features that are missing in the original del.icio.us post -- such as allowing private bookmarks, tag name autocompletion, and automatically using the selected text in the web page as the bookmark notes. But most importantly, I want to be able to use it on Firefox 3.

But I like del.icio.us post the way it was!
I suppose that you, and many others, do. That is why the additional features I have planned will be configurable so that they can be disabled if you prefer the primitive UI.
Will Delicious Post be compatible with Firefox 2?
Will Delicious Post be compatible with Firefox 2?
No. The Mozilla Corp. plans on ending support for Firefox 2 in December 2008 (that is next month), and there is no point in making it compatible with a version of Firefox that will be officially retired in a month. I also want to make use of some APIs and developer features that is only available in Firefox 3 and above.
If you are still using Firefox 2, you should install the original del.icio.us post extension.
