- Rated 4 out of 5by Tomass, 11 days agoNeeds a right click "Quick Highlight" feature. It's annoying to have to go through the dialog every time i want to make a simple highlight. In fact i can't even find a decent highlight plugin for Firefox that works at all. So far this is the only one i have tried that works at all. I have tried maybe 6 or 7.

posted 10 days agoThank you Tomass for the feedback!
I'll put it on my todo list for the upcoming release.
I could also add a new option for example "Don't open highlighter when adding new highlight", although I guess new context menu option would be better.
And I could also register a global shortcut for that, that will make it so much easier to use!
Note that the upcoming release has a lot of features planned so this will take a while...

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Bager, 2 months agoGreat Addon!♥ however after some point, if you have many highlights saved, adding a new one takes about 10 seconds after selecting the 'Highlight "text"' option (I have AMD 5600 CPU & 32 GB of RAM).

posted 2 months agoHello,
Does this happen even when adding new highlight for a new page?
Or only when adding new highlight for existing page that already have many other words to highlight?
In general, the highlighting is slower when you have:
- many words to highlight on a single page
- if you are using regular expressions (RegExp)
- if the page where it runs is complex/huge, with a lot of elements (like Facebook / Reddit)
I plan to look into some performance optimization in the new release (in a few weeks).

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17049191, a year agoMost of the time it works great, except for occasionally altering parts of the content on web pages.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18126307, 2 years agoAddon stopped working this morning. All my settings remain, there's no sort of error displayed, just no functionality.

posted 2 years agoHello,
Try to restart Firefox or whole PC, that often helps with random issues like this.
If it doesn't help, then backup your settings to a file (from the Settings / Import export tab). Then uninstall it, restart Firefox and install it back.
Also make sure the main ON/OFF switch in the main window is not set to OFF :)

- Rated 4 out of 5by KAKAPAKA, 4 years ago1. There is an Issue on m.youtube.com. After reloading, highlighted text and all chars after in the string, that contains it, disappear. (You will have to trick youtube with any android user agent to open exactly m.youtube.com )
2. Please, create settings for user defined DEFAULT highlighting style, and an option not to open sidebar/tab when new text is marked through context menu. That will add grate overall speed and convenience advantages.
3. As in your speed dial add-on, internal pages are notably slow on notebooks
Thanks for developing. Developer response
