What issue do you have?

In the last update of Firefox (v 129.0.1) it got a Reader View Mode that you cleans up websites. It creates a very nice view that would be perfect to clip.
But for some reason the webclipper gives an error saying there are no permissions for this tab.
If I turn off the Reader View Mode, the clipper is OK.
Is there a setting I need to change or do I need to reinstall the clipper?

BTW, I am using Firefox AddIn Web Clipper version 2.11.2

This is a limitation of firefox - extensions do not have access to these pages.

However note that the Clip Simplified option of the clipper uses the exact same library as the Reader View mode, so you could just use this option and get the same result in Joplin

Thank you for the quick reply, @laurent . I'll use the Clip Simplified option!
