by Firefox user 14709985, 7 years agoCurrently with Firefox 66.0 (64-bit) browser button update confirmation page keeps loading at browser startup. This only happens though if the browsers cache is cleared. Still though while even the browser button add-on is the most up to date version (4.0.75) the confirmation page still loads: https://about.pinterest.com/en/browser-button-confirmation-page?xuid=Ricd7jdYpDt1&xv=ff4.0.75
Nevertheless though it is still a great extension to bring content into Pinterest from other sites. Sadly though there seems to be a growing number of websites that are rich with content that are blocking users from pining content. So when a user sees the Pinterest button greyed out this may very well be the case of the website blocking the save button extension and not necessarily an issue with the save button itself. Have noticed various Flickr accounts whereby their licensing settings on their content does not allow images to be pinned (button greyed out), though interestingly these Flickr accounts were discovered by following content on Pinterest to the source link on Flickr. Hope this dosn't create issues for Pinterest in the future...
Edit: Using multiple different cleaning utilities to clear cache and other locations that are not cleared by Firefox's default operations. Currently using CCleaner Pro and Wise Disk Cleaner. In Ccleaner (v5.55.7108) the following settings are checked in regards to Firefox cleaning: Internet Cache, Internet History, Cookies, Download History, Last Download Location, Session, Site Preferences, Saved Form Information and Compact Databases. Unchecked is Saved Passwords. No other additional settings in regards to Firefox are set.
In Wise Disk Cleaner (v10.1.4.760) the following settings are checked in regards to Firefox cleaning: Under files section, Web Browser Cache - Mozilla Firefox Cache is checked.
Under Traces Section, Web Browser Trace - Mozilla Firefox Other Histories is checked. Between the two programs both handle session store data differently as of now and require both programs to remove session data completely. I might start by creating a new Firefox profile folder and see if this dosen't correct the issue, perhaps there is a mismatch in version data stored in a database file. That may very well be the case since seemingly even though the extension is up to date the confirmation page still loads as if the extension was just updated.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks, very glad to hear it's useful! I can't reproduce what you're seeing, however; can you please say more about how you are clearing cache? I've updated Firefox to v66, tried clearing cache manually and setting it to clear automatically on exit, and can't get the install confirmation page to show up.
Edited again: fix should be in with 4.0.77. Please have a look?
Edited again: sorry, had to bump this back one version for the 4.0.76 bug fix.
Edit: got it. We need to be smarter about recognizing new installs. We'll have this fixed by our next update; very sorry for the trouble!

- Rated 4 out of 5by minnie :3, 4 months agoReally amazing and convenient, however there are two bugs have made the user experience a little bit frustrating at times.
1. The script will inject this iframe making everything on the web page unclickable and it won't go away on it's own sometimes. At first I thought Firefox was freezing, so I'd have to reload my tab, until I inspected the DOM elements and saw this being injected by the extension into the HTML.my work around for now is using a script to remove it if it's detected:
iframe style="background: transparent!important;border: none!important;color-scheme: none!important;display: block!important;position: fixed!important;height: 100%!important;width: 100%!important;top: 0!important;right: 0!important;bottom: 0!important;left: 0!important;margin: 0!important;clip: auto!important;opacity: 1!important;padding: 0!important;z-index: 9223372036854775807"/iframe
2. Sometimes when I hover over the save button, it turns my entire tab white, and I have to reload the page to get rid of it. I haven't inspected the DOM yet to see what is being injected when this happens - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19497885, 7 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18909546, a year agoawful. it slows down your browser because it has to load on every page, and appears on every image whether you want it to or not. if you view image heavy sites, that's a lot of processing power. then when you do save, the pin may be deleted, a whole board can be removed, and/or your entire account may be banned for guideline violations, which are handled by ai. you only get one appeal, but they can do double jeopardy and change their decision, ie reinstate a pin, but then go back and flag your account a second time on the same pin. they usually don't reinstate pins, and the metric is very kneejerk. i had 5+ pins of a video game character flagged because he had bare shoulders. i had an entire board removed for discussing things like mental illness. when you reach out to them, they don't respond, and users have found that support email addresses listed on pinterest send a message stating it's no longer in use. people with decade old accounts have been banned over it. half of my screen when i'm on pinterest at any given time is ads. i recommend checking reddit.com/r/Pinterest/ to really see the actual user experience, and how much pinterest doesn't reward user loyalty
