Got message "can't read or change data on this site"

tonimore commented 8 months ago

Just installed this extension. It is greyed in extension menu and has the message: "can't read or change data on this site" It is enabled and has these permissions:

Input data to the clipboard
Access browser tabs

Firefox 121.0.1 (64-bit), running on MacOS

+1 Firefox 121.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10

Edit: Looks like this is "expected" but undocumented behavior, per #4 . Might be good to add a note about how this works...

Ah, yes. @ryanvbissell is correct. The extension adds a button to the address bar. Clicking that will copy the page's URL and push it to Obsidian.

Firefox added the "improved" extension menu a few releases back. All extensions will have an entry in that menu, even those which don't use that menu.

This isn't the first time someone's asked about this. It might be worth having the extension menu entry have the same functionality as the address bar button. If someone's interested in creating a PR for it, I would happily review it.
