i really like and rely on the org-capture extension for firefox. it has worked for years. i was never able to get manual installation of org-protocol and bookmarklets to work, so this extension has been extremely useful.[*]
however, upon an upgrade and a reboot in a security-supported debian, text no longer appears in org. the extension does flash its large "captured" notification, suggesting to the user [me] that something did work. i used to rely on that to know it was captured, but now i do not know what it is a reliable indicator of. idk when it stopped working as i do not always check captures. it possibly worked up until today or yesterday. i rebooted yesterday after a while of not rebooting. there were 1-2 recentish firefox upgrades before i rebooted. my versions are: org capture 0.2.1 allow automatic updates is set to default which was probably the default. there is a debug option but idk where hte console is in firefox. firefox 91.10esr [64 bit] this gets updated by debian for security fixes only. iirc it is unusual for debian in that it is a normal version patched by upstream, or something like that. emacs 25.1.1 cannot upgrade os or emacs at this time, but both are supposed to be supported for the time being iiuc. org 9.4.6 this is not the latest org, because i am in the middle of trying to do the maint to bugfix branch name change [other thread with ihor and max]. it's probably close to or at the latest maint. idk if there are other org capture extensions. i am aware of spookfox and eagerly look forward to its maturing, at which point i will try it. but idk if that can do simple, id-less org capture. === [*] it is particularly useful because i usually cannot use the keyboard. i can sometimes use a mouse during those times, and so i capture stuff and deal with it later. thus, for me, org-capture can be thought of as an accessibility extension.
