  1. Is this extension working for firefox?
  2. If yes, how do I install it.
  3. If its not currently working is there a chance it could be updated, that would be amazing if it could. I hat Evernote and would much rather use Laverna

Firefox coudn't install it because the add on appears to be corrupt. What a shame. I could really do with a webclipper for Laverna.

Sorry I don't maintain the project anymore, mainly since I've switched to Standard Notes. Hopefully most things should be working, but I haven't tried in a while.

To run it, you can use ./package.sh and then install it from Firefox Addons page (by selecting a file). I assume this is what you tried and which didn't work in your previous comment?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I use standard notes as well, its brilliant, isn't it. And the developer is a great guy.

I like Laverna too and was hoping to use it to save websites mainly.

So, when I install it I have to type ./package.sh where? In terminal? And then install the zip file manually in Firefox?

I've been using computers for years but not too much beyond the basics.

If it's not too much trouble could you just type the procedure to install it?

If it doesn't work bad luck for me but I'd like to try and do it correctly at least.

Thanks for the reply again :-)

Simon.

So the procedure to build it is the following: open a terminal, clone the code (git clone https://github.com/bnjbvr/laverna-webclipper, change current directory to this directory (cd laverna-webclipper), then run the ./package.sh script. It will produce a new file webclipper.xpi.

Then in Firefox, it's not even enough to install it from the Addons tab by clicking "select addon from a file", because the addon hasn't been signed off by Mozilla. You can try it though, by clicking the tools icon, then selecting "Debug addons", then in the new tab that opened click "Load temporary addon" and select the path to the webclipper.xpi file.

I think the right way to have this working would be to make it pass the Addon review (see also #1), and then to put it on the addons marketplace so it gets properly signed, and so it can get installed via the marketplace itself. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do this. However, happy to help anybody who'd want to do it, or to give ownership of the repository to whoever would want to maintain it!
