Hi,

If I drag a link from the address bar or bookmarks area of Firefox into Devonthink, the link that appears in Devonthink is titled with the URL rather than the actual name for that link.

Bug?

Fix?

Ted

Contrary to Safari, Firefox doesn’t deliver the title and therefore DT uses the URL to name the link.

Ahh, I’ll add that to my list of reasons for not getting excited about Firefox on a Mac. That functionality is as important for me as System Services support, which Firefox also lacks.
