Firefox Addon Corrupt

[Hrant 2]

Trying to install the Webclipper addon on Waterfox version 52.0.1 (64-bit)

I always get
 

addons.mozzila.org

The add-on downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt

 

I tried with

evernote_web_clipper-6.10.2.0-an+fx-windows.xpi

and

evernote_web_clipper-6.11beta1-an+fx-windows.xpi

 

Looking at the plugin contents, I don't see install.rdf, chrome.manifest, ...

How is this expected to install?

Hi - I'm currently using Firefox 52.0.2 64 bit and Clipper 6.10.2 without issues,  though I think the installation updated from a previous version (of both Firefox and Clipper).  Not clear what Waterfox is in relation to Firefox,  but maybe the difference is significant...

Thanks @gazumped and sorry for the delayed response.

I switched to FF x64 and was able to install the Evernote addon

Sadly though, like many other users, I'm unable to use the addon in FF

It has the red dot which is supposed to Sign-In to Web Clipper when I click on it.

It comes up with a blank page, and nothing more.

If I sign-on to https://www.evernote.com/Home.action Manually.

The blank page does not even come on, nada.

Hi again..  The red dot means you're not signed in to Evernote,  but the issue may be to do with the privacy settings on your browser,  or conflicts with other extensions.  Finding the cause may take a little time,  switching things off and checking whether the login goes ahead.

Thanks again @gazumped.

I've given up on Evernote in Firefox, no wonder the plugin ratings is so low.

I spent a lot of time trying to isolate this.

Started with a fresh new Firefox profile and added the plugin, of course it works, I added few of my core plugins and setup as I usually do.

It broke with Tabs Mix Plus.

Went over every single setting of Tabs Mix Plus until I narrowed it down to "Enable to Single Window Mode", this needs to be disabled, for whatever reasons, otherwise the plugin opens an empty tab.

I figure ok, I can live with that, changed the setting on my main profile, and it was still broken.

Narrowed it down to having to delete evernote* cookies

Great, now I got a sign-in dialog, and entered my credentials.

Red dot did not disappear

Not only that, now if you click on it, you get a popup that disappears immediately, have to delete the cookies to get back to sign in popup, and of course you need to restart the browser in between.

After a lot more time wasted, it turns out if you have Third Party Cookies disabled, it will never work even on a virgin profile with only Evernote clipper installed.

You add couple of more addons and things break again.

Seriously who runs FF with no plugins and everything set to default? Do Evernote folk perform any tests or do they rely on customers finding bugs for them?

Thanks for listening to my rant.

Yeah...  I may have shaken the glitch tree myself.  Because of problems with another app I disabled all my add-ins and deleted history and cookies to try and get back to basics.  Problem not solved,  but went back to normal browsing and re-enabled all the add-ins,  including Clipper...  and suddenly I'm now getting all the new user messages for Clipper and saving PDFs - and I had to log in to Clipper three times so far...

I'll see your rant and raise you...

I had to sign into evenote proper - I don't even get an option to sign in on the clipper.  Now it's just a white drop-down page and I can pretty much just cut and paste onto it - no other options.  It had worked great for years and now this.  I am soooo disappointed.  I recommended this to people when it was working...now I wish I hadn't.

Hi @Kathie - please don't post the same issue more than once;  you'll get confusing answers from different people on both posts.  Lets ignore this one and if anyone has an answer,  please post to
