by Dan Moorehead | PowerAccess (PowerAccess.net), 7 years ago* Settings page broken (with Firefox Nightly 60.0a1 x64 at least), not showing the state of each state (on or off?).
* Only opens in new tabs (very annoying, very slow) because toggling the "Overlay on Page" option doesn't work (even after Save & Refresh).
* Buffer opening in new tab is very slow and often stalls just showing a blank page requiring manually refreshing it.
Just paid for a year and now very disappointed.

Thanks for responding. Do you have an ETA when Overlay will be fixed by for Firefox? Is it a priority (as been a while since Firefox extension was updated)?
Restarting browser helped. Not sure why broken in Settings just sometimes.

posted 7 years agoHi Dan, sorry about the experience you've had.
The Settings page should be working properly, even in this version of Nightly (I just double-checked). Could you try restarting Firefox, in case that helps at all?
The share dialog opening in a new tab is an unfortunate issue we're aware of, and is specific to our Firefox extension (there's no such issue in our other browser extensions). We have plans to fix it, I also personally prefer the overlay so I know how you feel.
We're glad to have you with us, and I hope Buffer still proves useful for you despite these issues while we work on fixing them; if not and you'd like to reconsider your purchase, feel free to reach out to us at hello@buffer.com, we're always happy to help as much as we can.

E.g. current integrations to sites ignore new social medias on the market, like BlueSky, various fediverse sites. Also, no integrations for LinkedIn suggests it doesn't think of business use. With Buffer's own deficiencies, like underdeveloped 'idea' item kanban concept and lack of price offer for small businesses, it makes overall experience mediocre, requiring more effort than done.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16852099, 2 years agoWe use Buffer to curate blog posts or prepare individual elements for our content plan. The add-on is very useful and helpful for this. But of course it is only interesting for Buffer users.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14112081, 2 years agoThe behavior of the text editor is constantly changing, becoming less and less intuitive.
I cannot change the settings, although it says that the settings are saved, when I reload the addons page the settings are the same as before.
It doesn't have options to remove "save for later" and "open with pablo" from the menu, that I never use.
In general the addon is terrible, the service itself is useful and that's why it's a 2-stars. But I'm already looking for another service. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13910460, 2 years agoI love it when it works! It really messes with editing my Etsy shop when it is on though. Also must constantly refresh to keep it working!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13336506, 5 years agoToday, the extension went crazy. It alters the text I input in the box, especially for the facebook posts. It happened all over again. I write a few words and it shows them double with no paragraphs. I am trying to save the post, and it saves only the pictures and no text at all.
I paste text from the clipboard, it shows garbage and it alters all previous text.
I'm about to throw it away. It makes my pressure and my nerves going high for no reason. - Rated 3 out of 5by sadhuminstrels, 5 years ago
