    impossible to install by average user, who does not speak English.
    Is it possible to have a detailed installation tutorial?

    There is no documentation how to start off with a blank project and if I try to import my Scrapbook .rdf, it ScrapBee gets stuck on "Loading..." forever. The help page is not useful, as all it says is: "Step-3 Finish RDF part in Configure".

    There is a help page about how to setup/configure/use Scrapbee. You can find it from sidebar's toolbar.

    Windows Defender flags one of the files downloaded by this extension (required to complete installation and setup of this extension) as a Trojan. Completely unacceptable for a Mozilla-Firefox endorsed extension. I deleted the extension and the downloaded files at once. I urge everyone else to do the same or not add this extension in the first place.

    This is a fake alarm about upx(make executable smaller), I'll try to make some change to reduce misreport.

    UPD: fixed, welcome to version 1.6.0

    More than 20 different virus scanners (through VirusTotal.com) report Trojan malware in backend executables of this extension.

    If the backend was not binary blobs but open source, users could audit the code and compile themselves. How else can you be sure that the extension doesn't contain malware?

    Please bypass the error by adding ScrapBee to white list, or ScrapBee won't work without a backend executable, of course it's a miss-blocking.

    UPD: So, will it reported as Trojan if you compile it yourself? Why scanners have a white list? How do you think about this?

    I just removed backend source code from package in new version (you can find it in older version) because it's not needed for runtime. And I am going to host all of the codes in github.

    UPD: ScrapBee hosted in github now: see https://github.com/vctfence/scrapbee
