# Troubleshooting the web clipper service
|
|
|
|
The web clipper extension and the Joplin application communicates via a service, which is started by the Joplin desktop app.
|
|
|
|
However certain things can interfer with this service and prevent it from being accessible or from starting. If something does not work, check the following:
|
|
|
|
- Check that the service is started. You can check this in the Web clipper options in the desktop app.
|
|
|
|
- Check that the port used by the service is not blocked by a firewall. You can find the port number in the Web clipper options in the desktop Joplin application.
|
|
|
|
- Check that no proxy is running on the machine, or make sure that the requests from the web clipper service are filtered and allowed. For example https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/561#issuecomment-392220191
|

|
|
If none of this work, please report it on the [forum](https://discourse.joplin.cozic.net/) or [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues)

# Debugging the extension
|
|
|
|
## In Chrome
|
|
|
|
To provide as much information as possible when reporting an issue, you may provide the log from the various Chrome console.
|
|
|
|
To do so, first enable developer mode in [chrome://extensions/](chrome://extensions/)
|
|
|
|
### Debugging the popup
|
|
|
|
Right-click on the Joplin extension icon, and select "Inspect popup".
|
|
|
|
### Debugging the background script
|
|
|
|
In `chrome://extensions/`, click on "Inspect background script".
|
|
|
|
### Debugging the content script
|
|
|
|
Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the console of the current page.
|
|
|
|
## In Firefox
|
|
|
|
- Open [about:debugging](about:debugging) in Firefox.
|
|
- Make sure the checkox "Enable add-on debugging" is ticked.
|
|
- Scroll down to the Joplin Web Clipper extension.
|
|
- Click on "Debugging" - that should open a new console window.
|
|
|
|
Also press F12 to open the regular Firefox console (some messages from the Joplin extension can go there too).
|
|
|
|
Now use the extension as normal and replicate the bug you're having.
|
|
|
|
Copy and paste the content of both the debugging window and the Firefox console, and post it to the [forum](https://discourse.joplin.cozic.net/). |
