After restarting Firefox or even rebooting: copyfish icon greyed out.
Remove.
edit after reply:
Fair enough - I'll try the older version.
The 1 star is there because there's no zero star: meaning it does nothing.
I must add that Copyfish does work on Chrome, but until I get the full hang of it I'll refrain from giving one or more stars there. Besides I work in FF and only revert to Chrome if everything else fails.
edit2: It turns out it was not an older version, but a newer version where you have added support. Kudos to you for doing that.
However my one star was well deserved then. For there was nothing in the version history that even hinted at previous versions not being supported. Nor is/was there a requirements part.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12851851, 5 months agoThis is a great extension. AFAIK the best OCR browser extension. One star less, because of two things:
1. It says it's open-source software (GPL), but nowhere on their site (or prefs) there is a link to the source. I can open the XPI file in my Firefox folder, but it's a good behaviour in the open-source universe to link it somewhere.
2. No dark-mode support. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it hasn't been updated since 2021. With dark-mode I mean the icon on the toolbar (should be lighter for dark-mode) and of course the pop-up window.
That said, thanks for this add-on. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mexico84810, 5 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by rado84, a year agoIDK what useful does anyone see in this extension! It keeps failing everywhere - on FB, on YT, on image hosts where you store your memes... It's always unhappy with the image size.

- Rated 5 out of 5by FFme, 2 years agoI'm using it to copy text from Amazon Kindle books. The line breaks aren't great, but that's too be expected. Works great otherwise. Thanks for the great work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by SD, 2 years agoI wanted OCR for JPEGs and such I found on the Web. Copyfish has done a great job for me for years and has made my life easier. Recommended!
