Hi all. I'm trying to add Instapaper's 'Send to Kindle Bookmarklet' to the Menu Bar of Firefox on Mac and it won't work.

I've followed Mozilla suggestions when bookmarklets fail to add (essentially it's about making sure the places.sqlite-wal file in the Profiles folder is unlocked -- which it now is), but nothing changes.

Following other articles online, I've discovered that Bookmarklets in general (ie not just this one) won't install, though I have cookies temporarily off, pop-ups temporarily unblocked, the specific site marked as an exception etc, but nothing works.

Because it's not just an Instapaper issue, I'm hoping someone here more tech-minded than me might know the solution.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for the detailed info! Since this is affecting all bookmarklets (not just Instapaper), it’s most likely a Firefox security/permissions setting rather than an Instapaper issue. A few things to try on Mac:

Drag-and-drop install – Instead of right-click → bookmark, try dragging the bookmarklet link directly onto your Bookmarks Toolbar or into the Library (Bookmarks menu).

Enable the Bookmarks Toolbar – Go to the top menu: View → Toolbars → Bookmarks Toolbar → Always Show. Then drag the bookmarklet link there.

Check Enhanced Tracking Protection – In the address bar, click the shield icon and turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site while adding the bookmarklet.

Safe Mode test – Restart Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (Help → Troubleshoot Mode). Then try adding the bookmarklet. If it works there, an extension might be blocking it.

About:config check (advanced) – Type about:config in the address bar, search for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and make sure it’s set to true. Some bookmarklets rely on that.

If none of that works, a fresh Firefox profile is worth testing, since profile corruption can block bookmark saving. Instructions are here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles
