Thanks for contacting me. I am also using Firefox 109 on macOS 13.1 but I am able to use the plugin. Could you tell me which version of Copy as Markdown are you using, and what feature have you tried but not success? Thanks.

Oh, it seems to work now. Previously I used to select text, and then right click and select copy as markdown. But now that option isn't there. Just regular copying text seems to copy it as markdown though. And clicking on the md-addon-icon and chose, for example "Current tab link" works well too. Guess I was only confused about the GUI.

Thanks for the update. I am sometimes confused by the UI too. It seems that Firefox finally implemented a restriction to extension permissions that 'only allows it to read website data when clicking the icon'. I'll take a closer look to this issue and see if there is anything I can do to dismiss the warning.
