Thanks for that.

I note that archive has a Firefox addon but I can't seem to see the icon in the toolbar anywhere after installing. It's only an issue because accessing the archive link direct makes me jump through security check hoops before being able to use it online.

Does anybody else get this message when trying to access articles?

I've updated bypass paywall and it's made no difference. I've also disabled my vpn and emptied my cache to little avail.

How do we get around this new problem please?

thanks

thanks for the clarification and link.

So which of the many xpi files should I be manually adding please?

I'm assuming its the one that says latest.xpi (and not the previously numbered files).

Bypass paywalls clean update issues (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Although my version of Bypass hasn't been updated for over a year, it has been working fine.

But my latest attempt to read the New York Times indicates that it has been detected and/or blocked.

When I try to update it via https://gitflic.ru/ I can't seem to manually update it either. Firefox says the file is corrupt when I drag it into the browser or update (add) file via settings.

I'm assuming it's because it's a zip file but when I unzip the folder there are no files in there that firefox recognises for me to add (only a changelog, licence and readme).

Can someone please clarify - for me and anyone else likely to encounter similar issues in the future - what I might be doing wrong.

thank you!
