I'm able to pin fine from within Pinterest, but I seem to be getting the 'Oops...could not save this page' message each time I try to pin anything while outside it using the button. Haven't pinned anything for a few months now. This is happening on literally ALL images I attempt to pin. Had no problems a couple of months ago, something must have changed somewhere along the line.

I am able to pin fine using Chrome. But I don't use Chrome, I use Firefox!

In response to the Developer's reply below (it won't allow me to reply for some reason!)
I'm using a Mac OS High Sierra v 10.13.6, Firefox 66.0.5, I only save to one Pinterest account. Here are 2 URLs I just tried... https://www.amandaclegg.co.uk/portfolio/great-man-not-good-man/

Hi again. Saving to My digtial art yes, and my Yummly page. Both public. But it happens whichever board I try to save to. Curiously if I use the Pinterest in the social media buttons along the bottom on the image page, it works ok that way.
Content blocking is set at standard. In add-ons I have Ghostery and Autofill but that's it. I tested them out by disabling the add-ons, cleared my cache, but still couldn't save with the button.

9:20 Further to my last message, my partner came along to see what the problem was. I cleared my cache (again) and while in my website, he told me to 'shift refresh'. This seemed to solve the issue! I tried some random websites and I can now save using the Pinterest button again. Thanks for your assistance.

EDIT 4: please try again with v4.0.80?

EDIT 3: we will take a look at Ghostery, thanks. Can you please say what your Ghostery settings are?

EDIT 2: can you say if you are running any other Firefox add-ons? Anything having to do with cookies or clearing private data? Also, please tell me if you have Content Blocking set higher than Standard in about:preferences#privacy. Could you please tell me the name of the board you're trying to save to? Is it a public or private board? (I thought it might be /my-digital-art/, but I can't find it anywhere in logs.)

EDIT: thanks for the links! I am able to save from both sites, but amandaclegg.co.uk is loading very slowly for me from San Francisco; what does your load time look like?

Sorry about that. Would you mind saying what OS (Mac, Windows) and version of Firefox you're using? Do you save to more than one Pinterest account? Can you please give me one or two URLs that are definitely not working for you right now, so I can try them out?
