Firefox 66.0: bookmarklet does not work

[beceha]

With Firefox 66.0 the bookmarklet simply don't "react", it does simply nothing.

I had something similar with the most recent firefox (v120.0), but this is how I got it to work anyway (which the author might want to add to the README or as a wiki page).

Getting Pinback to Work With Firefox Versions That Are Not Bookmarklet Friendly

1. Go to the GitHub repository for Pinback and open up the the file pinback.js
2. Click the button for Raw and when that opens, Ctrl + a then Ctrl + c
3. Go to your pintrest user name logged in like the regular instructions
4. Open up the developer tools by hitting F12 then click the tab for Console that will open up a command-prompt/terminal like line. This will run Javascript locally, which is useful for things like this especially
5. Now paste the content into the console with ctrl + v and hit Enter (or Return if you are using an Apple keyboard)

Boom! Now It Runs As Expected

It should have thus run as expected on the page, sine the bookmarklet was essentially just a minified version of that in the form of a function that would run when the bookmarklet was pressed. Since Firefox doesn't allow this (for good reasons in my humble opinion), you just have to do it manually. Thankfully the authors provided us with the source code to do it ourselves and it works like a charm this way.

You could also just use Chrome for this, sure and that may be what you actually did give this was 4 years and ~60 version of Firefox ago but for anyone adverse to using Chrome, unable to install it on the machine they are using or whatever other reason that they might need to instead just use Firefox, now you know how.

Thank you so much for this! It worked well for a few boards, however I'm still having a bit of an issue.
When it comes to pinterest boards with sections, the HTML file simply opens a page that says "BOOKMARKS" with no content. Do you have any idea how I would be able to export pinterest boards that also have sections?

This worked perfectly for me; Firefox 133.0 on MacOS. Thank you so much!
