Making DEVONthink play nice with Firefox

I like DEVONthink and I like Firefox, but the scripts for importing from Firefox to DEVONthink don’t work and give the error “Firefox: No window is open”. Apparently the developers are aware of this problem, but there’s no fix posted yet, so I tried to figure it out and I think I have.

In the folder ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Firefox there are two scripts: Add link to DEVONthink.scpt and Add web archive to DEVONthink.scpt. You will need to edit both of these files in the Applescript editor, but the changes are identical. Change the line that reads set this_url to curl of theWindow to read set this_url to «class curl» of theWindow.

Worked for me. I’ve also emailed these changes to the developers.
