I couldn't reproduce this. Is it possible that there was a temporary server or connection issue?
Got the same problem currently. It worked for 3 submits, then at the 4th I got the same error. If I open the paste.mozilla.com link manually it shows me that the snippet cannot be found.
Fount it:
This will always produce this error.
I also am getting this today (I haven't tried this in a while - probably more than 6 months):
"Firefox could not install the search engine from: https://file.io/wbnBrnPnpLK2"
The extension hasn't used file.io since June 2020, try updating.
I can manually download the file from file.io. If I could convince firefox to load a search engine from a local file, I could work around this bug. Maybe the file is trying to read back the file from file.io before it's fully uploaded (or something like that).

When I "check for updates", it says no updates found. My version is 2.0 from June 2020. I'll remove it and reinstall.

After removing and re-installing, I now have version 4.2, and it works fine. Thanks.
This issue happens with the latest version.
Currently on FF91, the addon tends to fail whenever you try to install anything, with "download error Firefox could not download the search plugin from: " and then your
paste.mozilla.com
URL.As usually helpful from Mozilla, there's no further information, and the relevant source seems to suggest this is just a general catch-all for failures, so it's pretty much impossible to see what's really causing this.
I have a feeling the XML may be making firefox throw a hissy fit, though - I'm trying to use features like search suggestions, and searching on a
localhost
url.
