by Firefox user 15160238, 6 years agoLike other users here I have been having issues with the Pinterest Save Button working off and on but with increasing frequency over the last few months. I've been in contact with their Support Team over the last week, but like others have mentioned, they don't seem too keen on actually fixing the issue.
The 1st person gave me a list of things to try, despite my having stated that I had already done so, & wanted me to send video as proof that I had done them. I sent screencaps & a more detailed description of the issue, including that there is a second account on the same computer, using Pinterest in the same manner, that is also having the same problems but didn't develop them at the same time/rate.
I was passed off to another member of the support team who seems to be convinced that I'm just not logged in, despite the screencap showing both my being logged in & the failed save screen in the same shot. They sent me a screenshot of them being logged into my account & successfully pulling up my boards as if they were going to pin a site, but when I went to do the same my boards ceased to exist in the pop-up (& yes, I was logged in. . .).
I don't know what the malfunction is, but apparently enough people are being effected that they need to make a mass announcement that it exists & that they are looking into it, then actually look into in instead of sending the same failed "solution" to the same people repeatedly.
Update 7/25
They decided, without telling me which browser or devices they were using that didn't recreate the problem, that they were done with me & closed my inquiry. So for anyone else that wants to contact them, make sure you find out what they're using to try to diagnose the issue.

posted 6 years agoSorry to come in so late on this. Are you using the current version, 4.0.84? The metadata around your review suggests that you were on 4.0.83 when you left it.
I would very much like to talk to you and anyone else having trouble with the extension, as we have yet to be able to reproduce any of this. Please message me on Pinterest at @kentbrew and we'll get it sorted.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18909546, 6 months agoawful. it slows down your browser because it has to load on every page, and appears on every image whether you want it to or not. if you view image heavy sites, that's a lot of processing power. then when you do save, the pin may be deleted, a whole board can be removed, and/or your entire account may be banned for guideline violations, which are handled by ai. you only get one appeal, but they can do double jeopardy and change their decision, ie reinstate a pin, but then go back and flag your account a second time on the same pin. they usually don't reinstate pins, and the metric is very kneejerk. i had 5+ pins of a video game character flagged because he had bare shoulders. i had an entire board removed for discussing things like mental illness. when you reach out to them, they don't respond, and users have found that support email addresses listed on pinterest send a message stating it's no longer in use. people with decade old accounts have been banned over it. half of my screen when i'm on pinterest at any given time is ads. i recommend checking reddit.com/r/Pinterest/ to really see the actual user experience, and how much pinterest doesn't reward user loyalty
