Hello,

I just realized that my clippings used with the right-click have disappeared, so no more pre-recorded phrases??? to paste onto my messages??? Furthermore, all the other add-ons are disabled????
Any idea???
Best regards.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 43.0

    Hello Dori@n.

    Thank you for the advice, but nothing is going as planned.
    I have the clipping app installed but I can't access the source of my clippings.
    I notice that if I want to save one, I get a message saying "the source data could not be saved." Shouldn't I reinstall the application???
    Best regards.

    Hello,

    For your Clippings, take a look at my additional tip that I made a while ago...:

    https://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/19723-add-on-clippings

    Could it be that Firefox has disabled them due to the new update?

    It's just a guess ;)

    Hi,

    Yes, you can delete and reinstall it, but do you at least have a backup of your clippings?

      No backup.
      But this problem happened to me and weirdly I found them again ???
      I'm going to go for it but I need to find the "clipping" app.

    Re,

    Have you reinstalled Clippings? If so:

    Open clipping -->Tools, you then have 2 possible actions:

    Either you click -->Restore and choose the date.
    Or you click on Import, and you look for your files in the .clipbak folder of your choice.

    Hello

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the version you gave me.
    I create a shortcut and as soon as I want to validate it as a new clipping, I get this:

    Isn't another module necessary??? Because all the others were disabled during an update.
    Best regards.

    Hello,

    No, no other module, but you don't open the file directly, do you? You do the procedure I gave you?

    At worst, you reset Firefox and reinstall your extensions, then redo the procedure for Clippings:

    Go here => https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/new/

    Click on Repair Firefox.

    What does the repair feature do?

    All your Firefox settings and personal information are kept in a profile folder. The reset works by creating a new profile folder for you while retaining your essential data.

    Add-ons that are normally stored inside the Firefox profile folder, such as extensions and themes, will be removed. Add-ons stored in other locations, such as plugins, will not be removed, but any modified preferences (such as plugins you have disabled) will be reset.
    Firefox will save the following:

    your bookmarks
    your browsing history
    your passwords
    your active windows, tabs, and tab groups
    your cookies
    your auto-filled web form information
    your personal dictionary

    These items and settings will be removed:

    Add-ons and themes, website permissions, modified preferences, added search engines, download history, DOM storage, security settings for certificates and devices, download preferences, plugin settings, toolbar customizations, user styles, and social network settings will be deleted.

    Note: your old Firefox profile is saved on your desktop in a folder named "Old Firefox Data." If the repair fails to fix your problem, you can restore some of the unsaved information by copying the files into the newly created profile. If you no longer need this folder, it’s best to delete it as it contains sensitive information.


    P.S.: Your screenshots are too small to be useful ;)

      Good news, by searching and modifying a parameter, everything is back.
      I went to the clippings application, opened the "options", and validated "firefox profile folder" under general
      instead of "other location"
      and!!! surprise everything is back.
      Thank you for the time spent searching.
      Best regards and see you soon on CCM.
