(Archived) firefox extension not working

[trilbytvc 0]

I have just upgraded to firefox 6.0.2. I have also upgraded my evernote extension to 5.0.0.177572. When I put in my evernote sign-on, I get "permission denied". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the extension twice with the same result.

This is a work computer, so I am using evernote web here.

Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that. This is the first time we've heard about this so we will need to investigate it. Can you confirm that your login credentials are working when signing in to the webclient or any other client? What OS & version are you on?

5.0.0.177572 is the current beta version so it could be worth trying the stable version from the gallery 5.0.0.171805

Let me know if this persists.

I did the uninstall/reinstall as you suggested with the same result. I can access evernote just fine on the web and also on my netbook, where the clipper works just fine.

My computer was just upgraded to windows 7 professional, and I did the firefox upgrade right afterward. I assume something has changed, but I'm not sure what.

I have no restriction against installing the desktop version, and once had it installed. However, I removed it when I discovered if someone else signed on to my computer with their username/password, my evernote was right there avalable to them.

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue here with the FF extension.

I'm using my personal laptop that I don't have the windows client installed on, I too don't want to install it on this laptop, not because of security concerns, but more for performance issues (This ones a dinosaur). I confirmed that I can login fine to the Evernote web interface, and have no problem logging into the windows client, that I have installed on a different PC here at home. On the web clipper I get permission denied.

This is the version I have installed 5.0.0.171805

FF ver 6.0.2

I fixed this. Simple really.

1. Click on the Firefox menu

2. Click on Options

3. Click on the Privacy Tab

4. Next the the setting that says "Accept cookies from sites" click the Exceptions... button

5. Type evernote.com in the "Address of website" field

6. Click Allow

7. Click OK

You should be good after that. Worked for me.

Nice catch. Evernoted.

Yes, that fixed it - Thanks!

What about Firefox 7?

I don't see no setting that says "Accept cookies from sites", not with "Privacy Tab" anyway.

Evernote clipper completely inoperable with Firefox 7.

and it's only a week from release (Sep 27) ....

What about Firefox 7?

The fact that Firefox 7 is still in beta might be relevant. You may have to wait until it's released.

Firefox 7 support available here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... /versions/

OK, I see how to get there from the normal Evernote Firefox Extension page:

Scan down to the bottom of the page where it says Version Information; click on the downward-facing chevrons at the right. This shows the version information for the current (official, I presume) release.

Now at the bottom of that section, click on the "View all versions" link. Here you'll see all versions available, including pre-release (or whatever terminology) versions.

Yep. 144406 was a life safer for Linux users for a while.
