    When I try to save an image it tells me "Oops-could not save this" and to "make sure I am logged in. (Sigh) I am signed in. Using latest version of Firefox. Like the lady before, Chrome will save every time. Firefox 0 Chrome 1. Disappointed.

    EDIT: please try again with v4.0.80?

    EDIT: we are seeing a higher rate of expected failures on Firefox and are trying to run this down now. We think it might have something to do with other add-ons, specifically add-ons that might be changing cookies expiration times. Also, please tell me if you have Content Blocking set higher than Standard in about:preferences#privacy.

    Very sorry to hear this. When you save from Chrome, are you using the current Save button, version 4.0.79? Are you running any other Firefox add-ons, anything that might be clearing your private data?

    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!

    Edit Fri 10 May approx 19:30:

    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?

    It does not work for me. I get the following message when I try to pin something: "Sorry, something's not quite right here. Please check that you are logged into Pinterest and try again." It doesn't seem to matter what website I'm trying to pin from. I'm using 66.0.5 on a 2017 MacBook Pro (10.14.4 Mojave). I added the extension today. (I had an older version of the extension that worked, but I deleted it.)

    EDIT: I log in with email. I cleared cookies and tried logging in again, but still get the error message. I don't know what account switching is so don't know whether I'm using it.

    EDIT: please try again with v4.0.80?

    EDIT: are you seeing the error after the image picker comes up, you see your boards, and you choose Save to pick one? Do you ever share your computer with another Pinterest user?

    I'm testing on your exact setup -- had to restart to apply v66.0.5 -- and I can't reproduce what's happening for you. How are you signing in to Pinterest, please? (Facebook, e-mail, Google, something else?)

    If you're switching accounts in one tab after you bring up the image picker in another tab, you're going to see that something's-not-quite-right problem; are you doing that? If not, sorry if these are obvious questions, but: are you sure you're signed in to Pinterest? Are you using account switching?

    Would you mind clearing all cookies and trying again with a fresh login to Pinterest?

    Eh Firefox meinte sämtliche "veralteten" Add-ons zu deaktivieren, war dies ein hilfreiches Tool.
    Will man es neu hinzufügen kommt stets die Meldung:
    Download fehlgeschlagen. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Verbindung.
    Und das bei sämtlichen Add-ons, nicht nur bei diesem.

    Was working great then today had a message pop-up on Firefox saying: some add-ons have been disabled, the following add-ons have not been verified by use in Firefox. Whilst it didn't actually show any add-ons after the message, I did notice that the Pinterest add-on was suddenly missing. And like everyone else, I get a connection error when trying to download it, despite my internet connection working just fine. Clearly someone's done something to introduce a major bug!

    unfortunately, Firefox automatically disabled it this morning and it is impossible to download it again: "Download failed. Please check your connection"

    The Pinterest button doesn't work on firefox when I try to post from Etsy and Artfire. The same thing happens when using their buttons off of their sites. After filling in the description, I get an Oops, could not save this page, error. Very frustrating. This has been this way for quite some time.
    IDK how to respond to the developer other than edit my review here. Are you on a mac? I'm on 10.12.6 and cannot update due to perifs. I just tried it again and it did not work, got the Oops again: https://www.etsy.com/listing/701215899/euruopean-robin-painting-bird-lovers?ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1

    Update: Editing your review works fine, thanks. Yes, I'm on a Mac. What version of Firefox and our extension are you running, please? (I was able to save your Etsy listing just now.) Are you switching Pinterest accounts, by any chance? If so, please try restarting Firefox.

    If you are getting the same error from the Pinterest back end when you try to save using Artfire's button, it's not a problem we can fix with the browser extension. Can you please give me an URL or two to test? I was just able to successfully save from here: https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/14691496

    A good extension, does not work on all sites, but this is not very important for me, for me the main thing is ease of use.

    When you say "it," do you mean the browser button? Can you say which page you're on when you try it?

    Not working at all on Etsy. I'm using Firefox 66.02 (64 bit) and just added the Pinterest button today - version 4.0.77. This is very frustrating since Etsy has removed the social media links (a seller can post their own from internal link) for the public to pin products.

    I'm able to save from Etsy's front page, individual seller pages, and product pages. May I please have an URL or two to try out? Also, are you using the browser button or a context menu or hovering Save button?
