### New site requests:
1. Visit an article on the site you want to bypass the paywall for and copy the article title.
2. Open up a new incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and paste the article title into Google.
3. Click on the same article from the Google search results page. If it loads without a paywall you can [submit a request](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-firefox/issues/new) to add the site, otherwise my extension cannot bypass it either.

### Troubleshooting
2019-02-07 19:23:57 -08:00
* On WSJ if you are already viewing an article and click into another article and the paywall comes up, try refreshing the page (and click 🗙 to close the "Continue reading your article with a WSJ membership" popup).
