Review by Firefox user 12812696
by Firefox user 12812696, 7 years ago
Just updated from Firefox 54 to Firefox 56 and it doesn't work in 56. This is already known and the developer has retooled it for Firefox 57; this review is just to let any other new Firefox 56 users who don't want to install Firefox 57 know that Highlight All is the culprit causing anomalies in their new Firefox 56 upgrade. I have about thirty extensions installed and I had to disable them one by one to find out it was Highlight All interfering with keyboard shortcuts. Unfortunately no version of Highlight All works in Firefox 56 and I don't want to upgrade to 57 and risk losing even more extensions, so for me Highlight All is no more. Regrettably, unless a rollback version is created (which is admittedly a lot to ask), I must snuff four stars that once blazed bright.

    I used it for several months, worked great. Until yesterday when I found out it blocks my access to teams website. It looks like, because of the way it's implemented, teams website detects it and because of the security policies in place, it doesn't load my teams page. Once I disable this particular extension, I can access my account.

    Great! Would love to be able to simply search with cmd+F and highlight all instances. At present seems limited to clicking, but I may be overlooking the function. Still nice but but really need cmd+F to find all without having to click so if there's an app for this pls lmk!

    can you PLEAZE add a trim end to delete the last space when double clicking on a word. Firefox add by default a space to the selection if there is one after.
    So e.g : hello bob double clicking hello will select "hello " and so in hello=bob "hello" won't be selected.
    Add an option automatically delete last space.
    Other thing: on github pages the addon doesn't work.
    I will change my note after the first fix.thanks

    It "just works". This adds a common IDE feature to firefox that comes in really handy for browsing online code.

    Works.

    Native Mode helps quite a bit to bring back the functionality and speed of the old FindbarTweak addon. Thank you so much for this addon!

    One complaint: doesn't work for text inside scripted elements, such as the search bars on google/bing. Ideally I'd be able to select a search term I just used, and see exactly where it matches within the search results below.

    One feature I'd really love to see is the option to hook into the Findbar - including the ability to send highlighted text into the Findbar for easier navigation with next/previous, and to allow selecting options such as "Match Case" on the fly.

    Again, thanks so much for this excellent extension!

    Anyone who occasionally inspects or reviews code in a browser needs functionality like this.

    e.g. double-click on a variable or function and you know how/where it's being used.

    Thanks Jerome, great add-on.

    Jumping out of the color selection will cause the selected text to be out of focus, which will make it difficult to drag and drop the selected text to search. Please provide a third option to automatically use the set color in turn instead of jumping out of the color selection.

    Doesn't need notification permission.

    Its great add-on, just that after page refresh it resets, only drawback I saw.

    Good but not special. I gave 5 stars if it had predefined keywords to highlight similar to this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/multi-keywords-highlighter/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

    HighlightAll's select and highlight feature is excellent. The persistent highlight while I scroll around on a web page is just what I wanted since the native FF highlight usually goes away after a few seconds. I use Selection Context Search which creates a pop-up for highlighted text so I do not get the color choice pop-up for HA which is no biggee. I would like a "Display matches count" number on an Add On icon in the top FF bar instead of a lower right pop-up. Overall, an awesome add on!

    Does exactly what I wanted. As a developer, I found a need for this in the browser.

    Très bon add-on, serait-il possible d'ajouter la comptabilité avec la mise en évidence des recherches dans la barre de défilement qui est apparue avec Firefox 87 ?
    Merci !
