- Rated 1 out of 5by Edelweiss4me, 6 years agoThis button used to work prior to updates from Firefox. No matter what I do to fix it, it will not work. I keep getting an error message stating "Oops, something went wrong". Using Firefox 67.0.4 (64 bit) on Mac Mojave.

posted 6 years agoIf you're seeing "oops, something went wrong" that's an API error trying to save the Pin. Can you please say more about the URL you're trying to save? - Rated 1 out of 5by truthseeker, 6 years agoThis add-on was great until recently, when it stopped working. I keep getting the same error message others have mentioned: "Sorry, something's not quite right here. Please check that you are logged into Pinterest and try again." I am logged in! Ok, so I logged off, cleared cache, removed and reinstalled the add-on, tried again many times, but no joy. I use Firefox version 67.0.4, MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6. I no longer use Ghostery. Wonder if there's a fix in the horizon...

Not sure what we'd talk about away from here. I'll tell what I do and have been doing for months till this button stopped working: I'd go to my Instagram page, click on a photo/post, click on the Pinterest Save button, a window would open up to give me options to save to my Pinterest account, and that was it—until I started getting the infamous "Sorry, something's not quite right here. Please check that you are logged into Pinterest and try again." I didn't do anything different, it just stopped working.
This doesn't happen with the new Pinterest button I'm using now. I'm guessing it's related to the way Firefox handles add-ons now, and for some reason yours isn't cutting it. Maybe check with them and the changes to their new version?Developer response
posted 6 years agoEdited: This morning's release may fix the faulty login error; please try again with v4.0.83 when you get it?
We are working diligently to understand what's going on with this error. (You can definitely put Ghostery back; it is NOT the problem.) Some questions:
Are you using more than one Pinterest account?
Are you browsing in private mode?
Are you using container tabs?
Would you be willing to talk with me away from here to help sort this out? We have not yet been able to replicate this problem anywhere. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13993057, 6 years ago

Please check that you are logged into Pinterest and try again." Yes, I am logged into Pinterest. Cleared cache, tried again, same message. Refreshed both pages, tried again, same message. Logged off, logged back on, opened both pages in tabs again, same message. Firefox version 67.0.3, MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

It opens up the extension to pin the image but there are no boards available. It is empty. Only has the option to 'create board' but even if you do that it errors out. Definitely logged in to Pinterest in the browser. If you navigate to a site that has a 'pinit' action embedded on the image and use that it works fine (as normal). It is purely the browser extension that is no longer working (whether from the browser button or the browser added Pin save button overlay on images). Open the pin image showing empty with no boards to choose from and no ability to pin.
Have disabled all extensions = same error.
Cleared cache = same error.
Restarted computer = same error.Private browser (is allowed in there) = same error.
Disabled the extension and reinstalled multiple times = same error.
Running FF Developer Edition 68.0b8.
Pin version 4.0.82
Mac Sierra 10.12.6
Logged into multiple Pinterest accounts.
Thanks!Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis sounds like we're confused about what Pinterest account you are signed in to. Would you please log out of all accounts, log back in to only one, and try again?
Also: do you have access to a non-developer version of Firefox? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15063865, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14594621, 6 years agoI love it! I was worried it wouldn't work after reading the reviews but it actually works perfectly for me :D

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14423297, 6 years agoworks then doesn't work. runs in mobile mode instead of desktop mode so adding content or #Tags is impossible. Ghostery has fully allowed Pinterest for tracking its is NOT the problem, Poor programming and blame game...
I have talked to someone from Pinterest about that and their page switching back and forth between mobile and desktop version at random, they could not fix it either it still happens until this day. The difference between mobile and desktop is that the mobile version a 'bar' follows you as you scroll through pins at the top & bottom of the screen the desktop version has it only at the top of the window. The top bar never goes away the one with search camera and three dots message balloon. The Home, Following, Notifications ,and Saved at the bottom on the screen come and goes...Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi, thanks for the review!
Any detail you could give besides "works then doesn't work" would be helpful, such as your OS and Firefox versions, the URL of the page you're trying to save, and how (browser button, hovering Save button, context menu) you are invoking the add-on.
I am not sure what "runs in mobile mode instead of desktop mode" is supposed to mean. Are you running the extension on mobile Firefox? Also not sure what "adding content or #Tags" means; unless you mean entering hashtags in pin descriptions, tags aren't really a thing on Pinterest.
I did not mean to come across as "blaming" Ghostery; I have mentioned it in replies becuase we've had at least one case of a user (in these reviews) who mentioned it as another installed add-on. I will count you as a reporter who is also using it, unless that's wrong. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15059676, 6 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14999253, 6 years agoAbsolutely doesn't work. I'd just updated Firefox, and immediately afterwards added the Pinterest extension. Even with the absolutely most up to date Firefox browser and Windows 10, the extension just doesn't work. The first page I tried to post to my Travel page on Pinterest was https://auroraborealisobservatory.com/. While on the page, I clicked the Pinterest extension and absolutely nothing happened. No error message, no Pinterest confirmation, nothing at all. I even checked Pinterest, and it hadn't received the page. (duh - no surprise there!) The developers need to go back to the drawing board on this one, maybe. Since I use Pinterest so much, even though I prefer Firefox, I'm just going back to Chrome. The Pinterest extension works perfectly there, as it has for years. :(

posted 6 years agoI'm assuming you mean the browser button, when you say you clicked the Pinterest extension. I tried this page myself and it is full of some very large images; would you be willing to tell me where you are so I can try some network tricks?
Are you using more than one Pinterest account? Are you running any other extensions, such as Ghostery? Have you cleared cache lately? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14999041, 6 years agoas lots of users, the button is not working anymore on firefox. it seems that the extension has an issue with getting my credentials, no boards are loaded in the pinterest window
