- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13724630, 6 years agoSmall nitpick is that when the arrow is prepended to a long link, it creates a line break between the arrow and the link. You can fix it by adding "white-space: nowrap;" to a:focus
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14581971, 6 years agoGreat addon, thank you. I only have one little issue with it. If google offers to translate the page, that link will also be recognized as a search result, so you need to TAB twice to get to the next actual result. If that is intended, it would be nice if it was optional.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14492924, 6 years agoIt works ok, adding the keyboard shortcut. But when you click a link, it first adds a tiny arrow. And that's enough to sometimes push the text of the link down, so your mouse click now misses it. Super infuriating!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14325146, 6 years agoAddon was super, but from Firefox 62.0.2 it has stopped working (Tab and arrow keys only scroll on the end of page instead of going to next result). UPDATE: works correctly now :)

posted 6 years agoHey there, I've pushed a new update (1.1.8). It addresses changes Google recently made to their search results page. Please let me know if you continue to have any issues. - Rated 5 out of 5by dyllandry, 6 years agoYes, yes, yes, yes. So good. I have been distraught since they removed it and never knew why.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14078169, 7 years agoI love this addon and have been using it for for months, but I just upgraded to 60.0.1 and it's not working! Please help! It's enabled, but nothing is happening. Thanks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13423244, 7 years agoNow I'm fine.. I've been so pissed off when Google throw out this functionality! It's so basic!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13720006, 7 years agoGREAT ADD ON!
Update: problem solved after I "Refresh Firefox" to reset add-ons and settings.
---------------------------
Thanks a lot for providing this addOn! It would be very very useful but I am somehow not able to use this add on. After I enabled the key shortcuts from firefox's extension setting page, and clicked 'save settings', the settings don't seem to be properly saved --- if I refresh the setting page, the settings are reset to disabled. And it does not work when I try it with Google search. Any ideas? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13125207, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 9986444, 7 years agoGoogle Search results page is unusable without this. Don't forget to check the settings: some subjectively crucial ones are not enabled by default.

Love this feature back, thanks to this addon.
Great work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Pothi Kalimuthu, 7 years agoGoogle removed the ability to browse through the search results using keyboard. My productivity has degraded since then, since I heavily rely on keyboard navigation. This add-on brought me back on track! Thanks so much!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13552025, 7 years agoKeyboard shortcuts on google searches are nice to have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Avia, 7 years agoDoes exactly what it supposed to do. Works in localized Google domains as well.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Christian Bueno, 7 years agowork like a charm on firefox and chrome, on windows and linux. Very useful tool , I like it, greetings from Ecuador
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13010556, 7 years agoReally like the idea of reimplementing the Google fast search, as I'm missing this hugely since they removed this feature. Great job with that!
*Edit*
After checking the publicly available sourcecode, privacy concerns were unfounded. Thanks for the great addon!Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry, I have restricted the permissions as much as possible. I originally had it set as you're requesting, but that blocked users from other countries and applications (read: subdomains such as scholar.google) from using the extension. The extension stops processing unless html[itemtype="http://schema.org/SearchResultsPage"] or .gs_r is present (scholar).
However, if you would like, you are free to review and build the extension yourself. The source code is available publicly here:
