- Rated 4 out of 5by don_dolarson, 2 years agoSo far works good, LibreWolf 116.0.2-1. Let's see how it behaves in long term. Registered, created API token, pasted everything needed in the extension and voila. Setup took less than 5 minutes. Easy peasy even for a noob.
The instruction in extension description is more than enough for setting it up using the wallabang instance. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13502145, 5 years agoI am a hobbyist in computation, but not clumsy, an d I still spent 30 minutes setting up the addon. Some comments
1. the link on how to set it up takes to google-chrome, which is not the best. Within that doc the link in "First of all you have to create a new client on your wallabag installation. How to do that is described in Documentation" is not working. Anyhow, I managed to do the client.
2. While setting up the addon preferences (nice that it takes you there when error in import) I didnt know what to write in wallabag url. I assume this option is necessary for self-hosted (I have no idea), but when I tried at first the default app.wallabag.it it wasn't checking Ok. I spent all the time up and down your documentation to find the app url, assuming it was related to client; stupid me I even tested the one in your example "v2.wallabag.org", and I think that finally restarting firefox changed something in cache or whatever that captured the default url as a correct one.
3. A Youtube/vimeo video would be helpful. - Rated 4 out of 5by Baptiste Mille-Mathias, 5 years agoGreat functionalities
Some features I'd like to see
* tag suggestions taken from the page tag when it has its own tags
* more responsive for tagging completion (it seems to be a bit slow to fetch them)
* when wallabag is unable to parse the article, the extension should notify wallabag developer on behalf of user. - Rated 4 out of 5by Ærion, 6 years agoWallabag is an adequate substitute for Pocket, being fully open source, and with the ability to self host it if you don't want to trust the two main hosted instances.
It's not quite as slick as Pocket, but I find that goes for many, otherwise perfectly usable, open source equivalents for commercial products and services. What let's it down though it the complexity of configuring the add-on with your account credentials.
The instructions could be clearer as to what to do exactly when you have an account with
1) framabag.org
2) wallabag.it
3) self hosted
While self hosting is beyond the skills of ordinary users, many users of the aforementioned hosted instances still won't have a clue what an API is or how to set up a client.
I could not give Wallabag and the Wallabagger add-on to my family and most of my friends, without having to do the configuration for them. With Pocket no such problem.
This is a pitfall of many open source products, many of which are created to scratch an itch for the developer, who by definition is technical enough to not need a user friendly UI.
As this add-on works well, once configured, I've only docked one star; more hand holding for novice users and a slicker presentation and overall experience is all that stops this from earning a fully 5 star rating. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13603812, 6 years agoThe module works fine on my Linux laptop with Firefox 60 but I can't configure it on Firefox for Android as the configuration fields are not visible: I can see the labels but not the fields.
Edit: I rotated the screen and added the url of my own wallabag server then clicked on "test url" but nothing happened... (Checked also with app.wallabag.it, nothing happened too)
Version 1.5.0 of the module
Edit2 Also the howto page gives an error:
Server Error
Sorry, something went terribly wrong!
E_WARNING - session_write_close(): write failed: No space left on device (28)
Edit Jan. 17, 2019: Hello, thanks for the answer. Indeed, the help page now works but not the add-on, sadly. Still exactly the same problem: still need to rotate the phone for displaying (at least partially) the parameters and the "test url" link does absolutely nothing even with the app.wallabag.it link.
Furthermore, the help only speaks of a Chrome add-on, not the Firefox one... Is it working on Android Firefox?Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi,
Sorry for the late reply. It should be working now.
Have a nice day and thanks for the kind review. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12939510, 7 years agoGreat app, good working plugin.
Just get rid of the shared secret authentication stuff and make the register screen easier to find.
People use logins and simple steps to setup accounts these days... - Rated 4 out of 5by Zertrin, 7 years agoVery useful and working well once configured, but setup might be a bit hard for novice users.

posted 7 years agoHello Zertrin,
First of all, thank you for using wallabag and wallabagger. Can you told us what did you found hard to understand? We can try to improve this setup's description with your help.
Have a nice day. - Rated 4 out of 5by C Kraft, 8 years agoThanks for the add-on, very handy!
But, since a while, right-click save stopped working for me. The toolbar button turns red, although saving the article via the toolbar button works fine.
Using Firefox 52.0.2 (64-Bit) on Linux.
