Evernote Clearly XPI

Evernote Clearly was shuttered (Evernote blog post) along with some other products. I use this addon frequently in Firefox, it has the ability to grab text from multiple pages and present in one page. Saves clicks and is very convenient to read without losing the flow.

I copied the Evernote Clearly from the profile folder. Profile folder can be easily accessed by going to about:support and click on the 'Show folder' in the 'Profile' row in the table.

Download Evernote Clearly XPI Firefox extension

It is a zip file, you have to extract to get the Evernote Clearly xpi. Drag and drop this xpi file to Firefox window. Done.

I don't know how long this copy of Clearly will continue to work considering the rapid changes happening in the extension environment in Firefox. I am on the lookout for another extension with similar fetching of multiple pages feature.

Pentadactyl help error Component returned failure code: 0x8052000b (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) [nsIZipReader.getInputStream]

Component returned failure code: 0x8052000b (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) [nsIZipReader.getInputStream]

I was getting the above error continuously when I tried to use :help in Pentadactyl. I am not sure about why this error happens. Apparently it happens when you try to edit .pentadactylrc configuration file.

The fix is easy.

You have to delete a file called  cache.zip in the Firefox profile folder. This file can be found at Firefox profile folder\dactyl\cache.zip.

Navigate to 
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles from the Run dialogue box [Windows ]+ [R] in Windows XP/Vista/7

Go to folder dactyl and delete the cache.zip file.

You have to close Firefox before doing this. Then restart Firefox and it should work.
