Unable to find Shareaholic xpi for firefox


Anyone happen to use the Shareaholic browser extension in firefox and able to give me a download link to the file?

I've been at this for a couple of hours, I'm not the sort to give up easy. I've done the usual sort of search engine stuff like "latest shareaholic xpi firefox", and I found a link to the last known XPI at https://shareaholic.com/tools/firefox/ ; but to no avail.

Thank you.


*Note: I am running Firefox 101.0.1 (64-bit) on Linux Mint.

So first you say you need a download link to the shareholic extension, then you say "I found a link to the last known XPI".
And I checked, that page indeed has not one but two links to it (big green friendly button).

It would seem you answered your own question there.

On a side-note, these sorts of extensions are guaranteed to syphon & sell data about you & what you share.

I followed the link (this one) which directed me to a firefox extension page that no longer existed. Hence the reason I was asking for a link. I thought my point was clear. I apologize if it was not.

No, I don't think you were clear.
But you're correct, that's a dead link.
Have you tried the internet archive, e.g. web.archive.org/https://shareaholic.com/tools/firefox/ ? You might have to try several snapshots before you find one that has also captured the .xpi itself.
