This is the content of the bookmark. Pasting it into the location bar is just a quick way to test if everything is working prior to saving it permanently as a bookmark. But it might be easier to go straight to the bookmark step (see below). Do you mean clicking on the unicorn icon installed with this extension? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/org-mode-capture/ If you have installed that extension, I think everything should just work with minimal configuration. The extension is distinct from the bookmark method. The difference is that a bookmark is a bit more universal. Once you get it set up the protocol system-wide, the bookmark should work in any browser. > however, i never found any good instructions on what to do to add js > to bookmarks. > i have a menu bar and a location bar + icons. i'd like a button or > icon on the latter if possible. my previous thrashing around caused a >>> symbol which is a drop down menu which contains the bookmarks. > i'll settle for that if nec. but that is extra clicking i'd rather > avoid, and one of them brings up a page with js on it. To save it as a bookmark in firefox, right click on the bookmark bar, select "New Bookmark," and paste it into the Location field. > do i try with selecting and without selecting? The bookmark should work with and without selections. > which capture key does it call? This can be controlled with the emacs variable `org-protocol-default-template-key'. You can also specify a template shortcut by changing the bookmark. For instance, to call a template designated by "x", you could use the following: javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?template=x&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection()) Matt
