Unable to install fireshot-firefox-plugin.exe in our environment

Question

Hello,

since we had to change to the latest firefox ESR (60.2.2esr) we are not able to install the fireshot-firefox-plugin.exe in order to use the advanced features. Before we used the old extension with firefox 45.

Our %appdata%-folders are redirected to a netshare on our file server and besides the installer requires administrative privileges.

The error on installation:

Quote:
"There was a problem while creating folder "\\servername\Profile$\username\WS.V2\AppData\Roaming\Fireshot\firefox". Please create this folder manually, then restart the installation."

The folder does exist, even if I delete this folder and create it manually, the installation doesn't work (same error). The domain user has full permissions to this folder (and subfolders).

native-fireshot.log:

Code:

Accepted Answer

Can you please try a new version?

Answer

Thank you for your update!

Yes, I found a regression during refactoring of this piece of code. This will work in the next update.

Answer

Yes, the update is almost ready. It's expected to land AMO in the next week.

Hello again, just another question: we use the advanced features espacially for watermarking, but this feature doesn't work anymore. It's activated and configured in the options, but the watermarks are missing in screenshots. Any ideas?
