Amazon Assistant for Firefox by Amazon.com
Review by Kay~Den
Rated 1 out of 5
by Kay~Den, 6 years agoMuch like the other reviews, it didn't do much for me either, other than giving me the option to add the item to my 'wish list'. Also it was never a banner at the top of the webpage or even in a pop-up window or drop down menu (well, other than the 3 dots on the top right of my browser, where everything is → settings, bookmarks, tools, etc), so the only way I could use it was to have it opened in a seperate window and manually search for the item I wanted to compare prices with.
Which at this point was no different than the way I use to do it; search for things online, look at different places, different prices, go onto Amazon's app and search for the same product to see if they have it any cheaper. The only difference is it's much, much easier to search on Amazon's app than to use this "assistant", because at least with the app I could do more than just add it to a 'wish list'.
This was a great idea and I would have loved to use this, unfortunately it just didn't do anything it said it would or could. At first I thought it was because I was trying to use the app on a smartphone, rather than a desktop or laptop computer, but as I read the comments, I found out this annoyance happens across the board.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BrianG, a year agoEither this doesn't exist any more and has been replaced by a null extension or it silently quits every time I try to install it with no message. COMPLETELY USELESS WASTE OF TIME.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18174007, 2 years agoNon mis à jour, ne peut même plus s'ajouter à Firefox. Quitte à ne plus développer une extension, il faudrait peut-être la retirer du store.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18151649, 2 years agoI might be thick but I've added Amazon Assistant and I can't find the icon. Frustrating.

- Rated 1 out of 5by subaiku, 2 years agoNoticed this add on stopped working. Reading all the reviews, guess it's being discontinued?

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17920169, 2 years agoThis add-on is great when it works. It's been down for weeks now "while they make improvements." Come on guys.
- Rated 1 out of 5by twelfthdoc, 2 years agoUsed to work, but then Amazon withdrew all support for literally no reason. Really stupid idea, but Amazon is known for doing really stupid stuff, so it checks out.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14898405, 2 years agoOrmai da tempo non funziona più: segnala sovraccarico
- Rated 1 out of 5by mrwitte, 2 years agoUsed the hell out of this extension; now it no longer functions.
Discontinuing it doesn't seem very smart on Amazon's part. But I suppose if everyone has to switch over to something like DreamList or other 3rd party services for interoperable wishlist functionality it will be good for consumers and other sellers in the long run. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17861538, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13632517, 2 years agoThey discontinued an addon that I loved to use.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17844761, 2 years agoAmazon took an extension that had close to 250,000 users and disabled it two days ago for no damn reason. If anyone knows of a workaround or alternative, please post.
