2023-09-15	Trainor	Quick Cut quit working for me too, saving only as HTML. I tried earlier Quick Cut versions, they don't work either. I appreciate the developer's explanation so will use as is for now. Have appreciated Quick Cut very much through the years, worked like a charm.
2023-07-11	RK	Well, I've enjoyed this extension for years; very handy. Suddenly, a few weeks ago, it no longer creates normal windows shortcuts, only .html files, no matter the setting. Delete and reinstall doesn't fix it, so I guess I'm done with this extension unless the issue is corrected.
2023-07-06	Sean	Has always worked for me. I disable it when i don't need it just for privacy. He has the code on Github though or I would not use the extension

2023-04-28	Firefox user 17376523	Following the last problems, in order to make it work to my liking, I proceeded as follows: * Choose... : Custom * Content: [Desktop entry] Type=Link URL=%url% * Extension: desktop I live again ;-)
2023-04-15	Stef	Since update to Firefox version 112.0 quickcut is not working. This is a vital add-on. Please sort this out!
2023-04-14	Firefox user 17863880	Worked perfectly until Firefox update 112.0 (64 bit) on my Windows 10 Home PC. Hoping for an update to restore functionality.
2023-04-13	ThePulsecore	One of my most beloved essential and normally 5 Stars Add-Ons stopped working actually after the lasted Firefox Update to Version 112.0! I hope for a Support Update of QuickCut!
2023-03-27	Derpy	Chrome has an extension called Save As ShortCut. This does the EXACT same thing. Very easy to use and one of the few extensions that I consider essential that works in modern versions of Firefox.
