I get the following message when attempting to capture a page for Eaglefiler;An error occurred when capturing from Firefox:

Firefox could not get the URL of the front window. Please make sure that the frontmost window is a browser window.

Version 3.6 of Firefox removed the AppleScript support that EagleFiler depends on, so capturing will not work. Some alternatives are:

• Click the bookmarklet to import the page. • Drag and drop the URL into EagleFiler. • Use an older version of Firefox. • Use a different browser, e.g. Safari.

To install EagleFiler’s bookmarklet, go to: 

   http://c-command.com/eaglefiler/bookmarklets

Is there any plans to reinstate Applescript support?

Adding AppleScript support is a longstanding request in the bug tracking system, but it has a low priority (P5). Unless a volunteer steps up to do it, I suspect it won't happen this year.

F*ck. Need to use Chrome or Safari then. :-/ Would love for Firefox to add support for AppleScript.
