BlogThis! stopped working after latest upgrade

more options

BlogThis! (provided by Blogger/Blogspot/Google) is a javascript that I keep in my bookmark tool bar. Clicking on it opens a popup that includes the title/url of the focus tab for blogging. Cuts down substantially on cut/paste/edit that can impact accuracy.

It stopped working after the latest upgrade - 85.0 (64-bit) - and started throwing a "popup blocked" message in my way.

I have not tested the WordPress version - Press this - which is s similar javascript provided by WordPress for the same function.

Whitelisting the blogger.com url did nothing, and I cannot whitelist every site I might ever want to quote from without turning off popup blocking.

This is beyond annoying.

I get popup blocking. I use in all of my browsers, but for years I have been using FF as my primary browser. You seem determined to push me away. (Making me log into the browser, giving you access to everything I am doing just to ask a support question is also not cool.)

Chosen solution

Sorry for the inconvenience. This bug was reported here by another user last Friday and the developers have added a fix to Firefox 86, scheduled for 3 weeks from now. Ref. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1323675

Until then, if you use this bookmarklet frequently and having to give individual permission becomes too much of a chore, you could consider turning off the popup blocker. See: Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting. Of course, that may lead to other indignities...
