Not always, but about once a day it gets the idea that the wikieditish page summoned by the bookmarklet is an evil pop-up and must be blocked. And once it does this there&#8217;s no way of convincing it otherwise: all wikieditish bookmarklets will be blocked every time after that. Only shutting down and restarting Firefox corrects it, but that, needless to say, is a nuisance.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found only one <a href=\"http:\/\/pages.citebite.com\/j1n4p6l3ruwt\">reference to such behaviour<\/a> elsewhere on the net, on what looks like a Firefox developer&#8217;s page, and even that is from way back in the beginning of 2005. Apparently the issue was even worse back then, and they&#8217;ve improved it over the years, but the bug is still there.<span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:787,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.blosxom.com\\\/plugins\\\/edit\\\/bookmarklet.htm&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20230121013032\\\/http:\\\/\\\/www.blosxom.com\\\/plugins\\\/edit\\\/bookmarklet.htm&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-05 22:51:47&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-05 22:51:47&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:788,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Blosxom&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20261004172432\\\/https:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Blosxom&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-05 22:51:54&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-05 22:51:54&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:789,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.blosxom.com\\\/plugins\\\/edit\\\/wikieditish.htm&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20261006083707\\\/https:\\\/\\\/www.blosxom.com\\\/plugins\\\/edit\\\/wikieditish.htm&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.blosxom.com\\\/plugins\\\/edit\\\/wikieditish.htm&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:790,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/pages.citebite.com\\\/j1n4p6l3ruwt&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve made extensive use of bookmarklet for Blosxom&#8216;s wikieditish plugin.
