Hi
That reference is to the Firefox version… unlikely to work :wink: There is a v3 version that uses npm,

https://github.com/prikhi/pencil

See https://github.com/evolus/pencil/

It’s in the main repository and therefore, presumably, has to pass openQA.

  • It definitely doesn’t start with the current Leap 15.3 Firefox version.
    Which begs the question, how on earth did it pass openQA?

Hi
It’s a leaf package, not tested
