Hi all,

I am trying to find somewhere to add clippings V 5.5.2 to firefox. It looks like all previous versions of clippings before V6 are no longer being supported or available to be added on to Firefox, is this correct?

Thanks

That depends on what version of Firefox you are using.  If you are still using Firefox ESR 52.x or a version prior to 57, then Clippings 5.5.2 is compatible with it.  It is available from the AE Creations website -- go to the Past Versions page for Clippings.

Clippings 5.5.2 will not work with Firefox 57 or newer (a.k.a. Firefox Quantum).

Sorry, just realised I didn't post my response in the right place!

The link on the webpage for V 5.5.2 doesn't appear to be working.

It brings up a 'page not found' error.

This appears to be the same for all versions before V 6.0.3

Thanks

Right-click on the link for Clippings version 5.5.2, and select Save Link As from the context menu.

Actually, that may not work after all.

To obtain Clippings 5.5.2, go to this page on GitHub: https://github.com/aecreations/clippings/releases/tag/5.5.2.  Locate the link for  clippings-5.5.2-fx+tb.xpi, then right-click on it and select Save Link As.  I will have to update the download link on the website.

Is there any chance the xpi for 5.1.2 could be made available?

The github link (https://github.com/aecreations/clippings/releases/tag/RELEASE_5-1-2) doesn't have the xpi as far as I can tell

And the link to 5.1.2 here (http://aecreations.sourceforge.net/clippings/changelog.php) goes to (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/529542/clippings-5.1.2-fx+tb.xpi) which doesn't seem to make the file available anymore.

I'm still running FF 45 ESR for super complicated reasons, and so for consistently, we're using 5.1.2 still!

Would be amazing if possible!

Best,
Keith
