Problem with quick entry autofill for Things application

I use Firefox as my standard browser and the application Things for my task management. Until recently I could easily use the quick entry autofill function (ctrl alt space) to copy a link to a task in Things. This suddenly stopped working. I contacted Things support, thinking it was a problem with their application, but it appears Firefox is the culprit (that was found in the output from my Mac's console and I also found that in Safari the shortkey still works). I am updated to the latest version and would really like to keep using Firefox.

This was the output from my Mac's console:

27-10-14 18:10:00,766 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = Firefox got an error: Can’t get «class curl» of window 1. 27-10-14 18:10:00,766 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorRange = NSRange: {118, 12} 27-10-14 18:10:00,766 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = Can’t get «class curl» of window 1. 27-10-14 18:10:00,767 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1728 27-10-14 18:10:00,767 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = Firefox

I hope you can help me fix this problem.

Kind regards

The bug I found about Apple Script changing the read/write permissions of api was a dead end and looks like it is till waiting to be worked on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608049

I am sorry I do not have any updates on this issue at this time.

Does this mean that it is a known issue? Should I just wait?
