Microsoft removes functioning OneNote Web Clipper add-on from AMO, stating "people should use a modern browser like Edge"

www.onenote.com OneNote Web Clipper Installation

Quickly capture any webpage to OneNote where you can easily edit, annotate, or share it. Clip the full page, or clip only the article, recipe, or product information you really need.

Web Clipper allows you to quickly capture any webpage to OneNote where you can easily edit, annotate, or share it.

I still have the add-on installed and it is working just fine. If I remove it, I won't be able to re-install it.
This feels like another dishonest statement pushing users towards Edge.

The add-on should be brought back to Firefox!

  • One would think that Firefox would have a command somewhere to re-export the currently installed extensions. Useful for migrations, replications etc.

    • AFAIK, you can find all installed XPI files in $MOZCONFIG/firefox/<profile>/extensions/ You can find and access your $MOZCONFIG/firefox/<profile>, via about:profiles

      PS: The XPIs dont contain the configurations of the individual extensions.

      Hope this info helps.

    • They are located in your profile directory under extensions.
      Finding them is more challenging for most, since most don't have named IDs. I am willing to bet this one does though.
      For addons that don't, you can find the ID by going to the addons page, hitting "debug addons", then looking for your addon on that page where it will list the "Extension ID", which should be the name it's saved under.

      • Didn't even know you could do the debug addons thing! Thanks! Hopefully this info helps more people.
