moz-extension://5a3729bf-d2bc-4348-92d1-a8973d4b7076/hlall_bg.js:97 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13563640, 4 years agoA terrific free, useful, intuitive and unobtrusive add-on -- a great productivity tool which should be in the "Recommended extensions" category!
I have been happily using this in it's most basic mode ("Native highlighting") for quite a while before reviewing its options today following the update to v2.3 and "discovering" the "Custom highlighting" features of multiple highlights in different/selectable colors, and the scroll bar search/location markers -- yet more elegantly-implemented genius!
However, there is no obvious way to contribute to the author so as to fund the awarding of (at least) the "Verified extensions" designation (read the caution in the title's summary description "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing. Learn more"). See "Add-on Badges -- Firefox Help" at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-badges
I hope he knows I'm grateful for this "gift".Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12708714, 4 years agoSuperb addon, especially the clickable markers is such an useful feature. If possible, I'd love to be able to change the text color of secondary hits in Custom Mode to white (resembling the behavior in Native Mode).
Also, there is a very minor 'bug', in that when you click the page to turn off the highlights, the primary hit very briefly flashes color to that of a secondary hit before actually disappearing, instead of disappearing right away. It's so insignificant that it might not even be considered a bug, but i thought i should let you know anyway.
Thank you again for this amazing addon - Rated 5 out of 5by Spark, 4 years agoDear Dev, can you add an option in extension to skip the selection when only one or two empty spaces are selected? It just highlights the whole page spaces at once. and maybe change the default pink color to yellow or something

posted 4 years agoGood idea, this option will be added in the next version. The default highlighting color in native mode cannot be changed, as it is the color implemented in Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14259542, 4 years agoAfter the re installation, it returned to normal.
It's still the best highlight addon. - Rated 1 out of 5by unknown14725, 4 years agoDoesn't work. Does absolutely nothing at all. Neither Native or Custom mode works. Firefox 79.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rogério, 4 years agoCongrats man, very useful!! Thank you.
It's only weird that it's not deterministic when the text will keep selected after highlighting, sometimes it will (and I can copy), sometimes it won't at all, and sometimes it looses it partially... So sometimes I'd like to disable the extension, but I cannot seem to easily do it!! There's two options: Always on, where the shortcut do not work at all, and Activate on shortcut, which makes it disabled by default! Could you please include a Disable on shortcut (to keep it enabled by default, but able to disable it), or just always enable shortcut?
I would also like to see its code open on github. Think about that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14764101, 4 years agoThis does exactly what I was hoping it would do. Thanks
- Rated 5 out of 5by odyodyodys, 4 years agoNice! I could make the experience a lot better if there was a toolbar icon to manage it, rather than going to the settings.
Also, it would be amazing if we could add custom words to highlight, instead of selecting text first. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14366081, 4 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Iain Hallam, 5 years agoIt kind of works, but the scrollbar markers don't appear for all instances, don't do anything when clicked, and sometimes appear for instances that don't exist. I was hoping this would be useful, but given that my testing shows it's not reliable, probably better for me to uninstall than get unreliable results.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Noob Saibot, 5 years agoWould highlight sections or words I didn't have highlighted. Also found the "left click" to highlight very annoying. Would make more sense just to "right click" and select 'highlight selected word/text'. Uninstalled.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10466127, 5 years agoCan you make this work with Firefox's Control+F? So I don't need to click the word.
- Rated 5 out of 5by taro, 5 years agoI just switched the default browser from Google Chrome to Firefox and have sought out the feature to display FIND research highlight in scrollbar and found this extension. I loved it. Keep up at good work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefoss, 5 years agoIt does what it says, and very well.
It would be even better if it did not require dangerous permissions (access your data for all websites) - Rated 5 out of 5by Gertlex, 5 years agoThis plugin is an essential in my toolbox. (Auto-highlight all, amazing for code reading.) With Firefox 75, it's back to working perfectly. Unfortunately had to survive for a few Firefox versions without it due to components in the browser breaking. Many thanks to the addon's author/maintainer for keeping this plugin going. He was a pleasure to interact with when I inquired about this now-past issue.
- Rated 4 out of 5by VILYAM, 5 years agoХорошее дополнение, не хватает только Русского языка, не удобно настраивать методом тыка.

- Rated 5 out of 5by jerobi, 5 years agoVery nice idea and implementation of virtual scrollbar is outstanding.
NOTE:
Native highlighting is not working due to FF bug.
If anyone has Ctrl+F8 shortcut occupied, FF support shortcut changing in extensions settings.
@Jerome
Is it possible to implement search function(e.g. from toolbar, or preferably from context menu)? It would be highly useful. No other extension provide similar features.
