Why is Clipper 5.9 for Firefox so terrible?

[ElwoodNose 1]

I've been using Clipper for a few weeks on Chrome with great ease, then decided maybe I should work more in Firefox. Web Clipper in Firefox is an absolute disaster compared to Chrome - why? It flickers like a strobe light; nowhere near as pleasant or easy to use.

There's a new version waiting for Mozilla approval, but user can get early access to it from here:

Thanks jbignert — I was reluctant to try the beta but it is great!

Ooooooh, actually seems smoother than the chrome version now!  That 5.9.1 version was nasty though.

For information - after a dew days' use I'm getting clipper 'hangs' - I click the icon,  the 'in progress' icon shows active...  and stays that way,  even though the clip is now in Evernote.  The only way to stop the clipper action/ clear the page is to close it.  I'm about to move up a version in Firefox (to Fx40) I'll let you know if this continues...

Thx for the report Gaz, make sure you run the latest version 6.1 available here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/versions/it resolved a lot of the issues in the first version 6.0.15.

I've been having similar strobing issues with Evernote Web Clipper 6.6 (c6a3ad5/1.1.0.926) on the Chrome Browser Version 45.0.2454.85 m.  It happens intermittently, strobing and sometimes clipping ok, and sometimes switching to another tab and clipping that.  Just started a week or two ago.  It is happening on my desktop, and perhaps also on a Chromebook and a Nexus 7 -- I haven't really kept detailed records.  I will add more to this post if I get more data on this issue.
