Also, you don't want to save a duplicate of the same tab. It might be useful to have more than one remember template: one for saving all tabs and one for saving one tab. Another idea is to have a button on the status line that you can left click on to remember one tab. Apparent bugs and suggestions follow. (Others not developing Fireforg need not read.) =3D=3D=3D There was a setting that I didn't understand having to do with using DOI. Perhaps how this works can be explained. Does it use the net? You might want to mention that it stands for digital object identifier. I had to change head -1 to head -n 1 in the pull script to fix an error in head. head is /sw/bin/head, perhaps from some fink or macports package. Perhaps the error messages in emacs and ff can explain what you need to do to fix them. Also, perhaps common non-working states can be checked for. That would make it easier. I used your suggested template: ("fireforg" ?w "* %:description \n %:link %!") Sometimes, nothing happens. Other times, emacs opens a buffer that is blank. It expects you to do c-x # to finish the buffer. Currently nothing is happening, so I can't describe that one more fully. At one point I got this error message. error in process filter: Setting current directory: no such file or directory, /Users/.../fireforg/org-protocol:/remember:/http%3A%2F%2F... It might be nice to document whether any of the options will slow Firefox or Emacs down. (Even if none of them do.) I noticed that the Read It Later extension no longer has a button. Might be a coincidence. Perhaps giving git instructions would make it easier to dl the .sh, .xpi, and .el all at once. "git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/org-fireforg.git" did not work. (Something about corruption; I don't have the output now.) That is all the bug reporting I can do. I will have to stop trying to get Fireforg to work. I cannot make further attempts as debugging requires far too much physical use of keyboard and mouse. Thanks.
