Firefox HyperSnap extension

I think that disabling all plugins in privacy mode is by design by Firefox makers. Otherwise plugins could copy and save the text or images you browse or enter somewhere, and the privacy would be compromised. I verified, it works the same here.

Greg,
thanks a lot for your quick response!
I re-installed FF (meanwhile v23.0) and the HS plugin from HyperSnap v7.25.03 - and voila - the HS icon was visible again.
But then I noticed that the HS icon disappears from the addon bar as soon as I switch to FF "privacy mode" and reappears when I switch back to normal mode. Can you reproduce this behaviour?
Greetings,
Heinz

Heinz,
I really don't know what could be the problem with Firefox 22.0 and HyperSnap plugin on your computer... It works fine here all the time. What GreenLantern posted and you quote was about an older version of HyperSnap, before I updated the plugin. He later posted that starting with version 7.24.01 all works fine again. See if removing HyperSnap plugin from Firefox and then re-installing it from HyperSnap 7.25 will help. Otherwise, there could be some other plugin that interferes with ours, or maybe you just have the add-on bar hidden - try pressing Ctrl + / key combination in Firefox, or from FF menu, click on "Options" - "Add-on bar".

I can confirm that the Hypersnap Firefox plugin no longer works with the latest Firefox update (Version 22.0). After the browser update, the usual camera icon no longer appears in the Add-on bar. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin and restarting the browser did not help.

Same problem here with FF 22.0 and HS 7.25.02 - after 'successful' install of the HyperSnap plugin + FF restart the camera icon won't display in the add-on bar. I don't use the Menu Editor Add-on so this can't be the reason.
The install.rdf file inside the hsnaphlp-s.xpi archive contains the line: '<em:maxVersion>20.*</em:maxVersion>' - could this be the source of the problem?

I re-downloaded HS 7.25.02 from http://www.hyperionics.com/downloads/HS7Setup.exe just to be sure I have downloaded the latest version - but the max FF-Version in the install.rdf file is still set to 20.*

Yes, the Menu Editor Add-on appears to have a conflict with Hypersnap being displayed in Firefox Menu. I figured out how to hide unwanted Firefox Menu items without the use of the Menu Editor Add-On so that it can be removed and thus prevented from interfering with Hypersnap Menu.
If anybody hits this thread doing a search, this will help you:

To hide individual Firefox menu items, the easiest thing to do of course is to use the Menu Editor Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.or...fox/addon/menu-editor/

If this Add-on conflicts with another add-on, your only option is to manually remove individual Menu Items as there does not appear to be any other Firefox Add-On which hides Menu Items. In order to do this manually, you will need to know what the MenuItem ID is for each Menu Item you wish to hide.

Therefore, before removing Menu Editor Add-on, try to get the Menu Item IDs which this Add-on stores inside the menuedit.rdf file which can be found inside your profile folder.

Open the menuedit.rdf file and do a search for NC:Visibility="hidden"
Two lines above your search hit, you will see something that looks like this:
rdf#ThisIsWhereYouCanSeeTheExampleMenuItemID"

ThisIsWhereYouCanSeeTheMenuItemID is the MenuItem ID which you will need to use to hide individual Menu Items manually by adding the following to the CHROME\userChrome.css file inside your Firefox profile folder:

/* Firefox userChrome.css */

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

/* Hide "Example" menu item */

window[id="main-window"] menuitem[id="ThisIsWhereYouCanSeeTheExampleMenuItemID"]
{ display: none !important; }

window[id="main-window"] menuitem[id="ThisIsWhereYouCanSeeTheExampleMenuItemID2"]
{ display: none !important; }

If you cannot use the Menu Editor Add-on to get the MenuItem ID, then you will need to use the DOM Inspector Add-On: https://addons.mozilla.or...on/dom-inspector-6622/

1. Close all open windows then > Firefox > Tools > Web Developer > DOM Inspector >
File > Inspect Chrome Document
[That's "ChromeDocument" NOT "Content Document"]

2. Once again: File > Inspect Chrome Document > Select first item on the list >

3. Click on the first icon under File in the upper left corner, the "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" icon.

4. Now use Alt+TAB to switch to the open Firefox window

5. Do not click on anything with a mouse, use keyboard to open the Firefox Menu > for example the Help menu will have the H underlined, that means use ALT+H to open it and ONLY THEN use mouse to click once on the Menu Item you wish to hide [nothing will happen after you click on it once].

6. Go back to DOM Inspector Window which will now have an id line displayed on top of its right window pane.

That is the MenuItem ID you will need to manually hide a Firefox menu item by editing the CHROME\userChrome.css file inside your Firefox profile folder as described above.

Thank you, it's good to know about such interference from other plugins, I did not know this was possible.

I found the culprit. The following Add-on interfered with Hypersnap menu: https://addons.mozilla.or...fox/addon/menu-editor/

It is supposed to be an add-on that lets you show/hide items that other programs put in if you don't want them to show up in Firefox menu. Regardless of its setting for Hypersnap, I appear to only get the Hypersnap Menu after completely removing the Menu Editor Add-on. This problem begun appearing with Firefox 22 official release. I will gladly choose Hypersnap over that add-on, so problem solved for me, but I just wanted to report this for anyone's information.

I agree about official release support only. I have diagnosed my problem and hope that this would help others diagnose theirs.
I think if all else fails, it is essential to create another test profile to see if problem can be recreated on a test profile.

Running this command would enable anyone to create another test profile:
firefox.exe -profilemanager -no-remote

Once I did that, I could see that everything worked there, clearly indicating that problem was related to the existing profile and possibly existing Add-ons interfering. I plan on diagnosing the culprit next but just wanted to suggest that anyone with the Add-on problem should install the add-on to a new profile first, before reporting problems here.

On which page you don't have HyperSnap on the right-click menu? I'm testing it on this page as I write this reply, and if I right-click anywhere on this page, the last item on the menu is HyperSnap, with sub-menu items to capture page as usual... I'm working on the current release Firefox 22. It informs me that there are no updates in the "stable" channel. As I wrote before, I don't support betas or pre-release versions.

Greg, the HyperSnap icon does indeed appear Firefox 22 and 23 but not the right click Menu like it used to under Firefox 21.

Unfortunately, I am not able to support both the current versions of Firefox, and some old versions, as they make so many changes so fast in their AddOn toolkit. I try to support the current fully released version, not any beta or alpha tests, and not old versions.

Unfortunately, the add-on is not installing on Firefox 17.0.7 ESR (corporate standard is the ESR version). Error message is that the add-on is not compatible with 17.0.7.

Is that a known issue?

Thanks!

I just updated to version 7.24.01 and reinstalled the Firefox AddOn and see that Hypersnap is working perfectly again. Thanks for the prompt response, Greg!

Re:Firefox HyperSnap extension (Support)

I'm correcting this right now, will release version 7.24.01 where the Firefox AddOn works with FF 22.0.

Ok Greg,
Don't worry. I will let you know if i see something at Firefox 22 release time.
Have a good day and thanks again for your attention.

Oh, I don't support betas. Maybe they need to fix something in the beta code before everything works correctly. If the problem persists when 22 is released, I'll look at it again.
