2. Go to an external website

Actual behavior

Opens a popup windows containing a login form and signs me out of my main tab on any website other than my domain name.

Thank you for that info!

To be honest, I didn’t use the bookmarklet for a long time. But I’m quite sure it was working before as expected. For now, I’m prompted for credentials on every use of the bookmarklet, and I’m logged out of ownCloud in the other tab. Weird!

As I haven’t touched the bookmarklet for a long time, I assume that is the result of some kind of newer security thing in ownCloud or in the browser.

Maybe I’ll have a more in-depth look into it.

Meanwhile, I know it was working (more or less) with ownCloud 10.6. But even with 10.6, the login gets lost, you have to login again for each bookmark, even if you are logged in another tab. I’m quite certain this was working before, but it might also be related to a newer Firefox version.
The searching continues…

Thank you for looking into this.

Just keeping the topic from closing. I would really like to use the bookmark feature.

Same here. But I’m afraid it’s out of my options to fix this. I’m so sorry.

Meanwhile, you could try using the API for adding bookmarks.
