Edit: You can get addon .xpi file to install it from file from archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20250112151328/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hoarder/

Woah, just went trough this as well, fresh OS installation, sign in to Firefox, checking my synced addons, and all is there exept Hoarder. Maybe could be Firefox addon distributed as file, until DMCA is resolved?

Okay, I have been able to get .xpi file from my other machine, but after manual installation from file on reinstalled machine - my data from that addon (server adress and credentials) were also imported, so I am unable to share the .xpi file here.

You can find signed .xpi file in about:support - open your Profile Folder and under extensions folder you can find addon@hoarder.app.xpi file which can be then manually installed in other Firefox by this at about:addons

PS: Stable firefox won't let you import addon which was not signed by FF addon store.
I have also looked into archive.org and found snapshot of the FF Addon store (https://web.archive.org/web/20250112151328/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hoarder/) but the link for File download is dead.

Download link in archive.org worked for me. Also apparently you can set xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config to allow it on stable. I'll try it later

xpinstall.signatures.required does not work in Stable or Beta, only Nigthly and Developer editions

Mozilla requires all extensions to be signed by Mozilla in order for them to be installable in Release and Beta versions of Firefox.

Firefox 48: (Pushed from Firefox 46). Release and Beta versions of Firefox for Desktop will not allow unsigned extensions to be installed, with no override. Firefox for Android will enforce add-on signing, and will retain a preference — which will be removed in a future release — to allow the user to disable signing enforcement.

Please see Timeline on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing

And you are right, probably something on my network blocked the download, but on Mobile Data on my phone I was able to download file from archive.org!

Disaster. I found Hoarder from the noise being created by this claim. Loving it and my plan for this weekend to add it to all my devices. Guess I'm too late. Watching for work arounds and wishing Mohamed all the best.

If you build the extension locally (https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/blob/main/.github/workflows/extension.yml),
it can be loaded via about:debugging -> load temporary extension. This also works in stable firefox, but you have to reload the extension if you restart the browser.

The "Bypass Paywalls Clean" extension maintainers found themselves in a similar predicament. Maybe Hoarder can follow their distribution/update strategy until the smoke clears.

The firefox extension was taken down today by a DMCA as part of the ongoing trademark dispute. Unfortunately, not much I can do about this now until the legal response is ready.

Won't this take long time. I was able to install addon from web.archive.org but will it get updated? Anyway to update the addon?

Build the extension locally as @MoritzLoewenstein suggests.

To say it also here: The Hordr guy only filed for a trademark for what this project does on January 15th 2025 (the day when the dispute began). The original trademark was for an computer application that manages e-commerce shopping cards.

I'm not a lawyer so the following is my own opinion: I see this as an malicious takeover attempt of everything of the project. @MohamedBassem should fight that and we as the community should prepare to fork and rename the project for if the worst-case scenario occurs.

Its his own version. Works very well.

Just works with your local server, no calling home.

The new extension is live: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/karakeep/

We lost all the ratings and reviews of the original addon, so if anyone wants to help, a quick review is a simple way to ;)

I'll close this issue once I update the links all over the repo.
