Firefox Extension not saving articles due to permissions issue about omnivore HOT 7 OPEN

Thanks, i think that gives me something to work with. Annoyingly adding this consent thing requires removing some of our content security policy.

I will see if i can set up a replication of this.

Thanks, yeah this consent is kind of an annoying requirement.

It sounds like the extension might not have permission to write the API key and consent values to storage. When you refresh the settings is the API key also cleared?

Appreciate the quick response!

When I refreshed the page, the API key disappeared. However, I clicked 'Load API Key' and it now persists in the box upon refresh. The 'I consent' box still clears on refresh.

Thanks. Are you familiar with using the Firefox developer console? If you could open the console, set the consent, then refresh the page maybe we will see something being blocked in the dev console

I'm a firmware guy by trade but I can make do

Checking the box, refreshing, doesn't yield anything different from the above console output. That gets printed as soon as the page loads but is unaffected by any of the actions on the page.

If I understand this correctly, it looks like the JS file might not even be loading in correctly?

Hey, following up on this, were you able to recreate this?

Otherwise, is there another way I can manually add articles from the browser to omnivore without using the extension?

I fixed it by

• Right clicking on the Omnivore extension
• Selecting "Manage Extension"
• Clicking the three dots in the extension options screen and selecting "Options"
  
• Consenting to the privacy statement (checkbox under last paragrpah).

Reload the page you want to submit and it works. I didn't use an API key.
