Kupfer forgets Firefox bookmarks

[Jeff Siegel]

I upgraded to Firefox 29, and Kupfer no longer recognized my Firefox pages. I have to type in the entire word, like Paypal to get to the site, and then Kupfer doesn't remember the page the next time. I'm running 2.08 on Xubuntu 12.04

Hi,
This should be fixed by this patch:
https://github.com/KarolBedkowski/kupfer-adds/commit/0fa3017c743fa4d14f81d3cdc35db86bf53d0f29

[Jeff Siegel (jeff-siegel)]

Thanks. Should I do something with that, or wait for it to show up in a new version? My GitHub skills are limited.

[Karol Będkowski (karol-bedkowski)]

For now, you can download zip with updated version from https://github.com/KarolBedkowski/kupfer-adds
I'll prepare updated package soon.

Small instruction how to fix it.

killall kupfer
sudo apt-get install intltool

mkdir /tmp/ku
cd /tmp/ku

git clone https://github.com/KarolBedkowski/kupfer-adds .
./waf configure
./waf
sudo ./waf install

start kupfer

p.s. Thanks Karol Będkowski for this great project =)

Thanks, Ivan, for the reply. Abd this is a great project, much better than almost anything else that does the same thing on Windows.

One catch: I had a problem when I ran /.waf configure from /tmp/ku -- "no such directory". How do I get aorund that?
