- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13747054, 7 years agoFirst of all thanks to the developer for trying to implement such a priceless feature for this awful firefox quantum...
Indeed, this plugin may be hard to install for the newbies, but I didn't have any problems with it under the windows 10. But the problem is that it's not actually working.
I use this plugin for editing the text from textarea in an external editor. When I first open the editor, everything works fine. I save the file, and the text appears in the textarea. But if the web page replaces a part of DOM containing this textarea with a new one (in an ajax call), the plugin stops working. To be precise, it still opens the text area contents in the editor fine, but is unable to put them back to textarea. I may assume that plugin simply tries to put the text in an old DOM node, that's been already replaced by the ajax call, I don't know. When I refresh the WHOLE page, the plugin starts working normally again. So it's definitely a bug.
Thus, it is completely unusable for me ((. That's why I still forced to use It'sAllText with an outdated firefox 56 - there is no working replacement.Developer response

Edit: The issue is fixed in v4.2.2 - Rated 3 out of 5by chengiz, 7 years agoOld review: Says Disconnected and Restart if it says Disconnected. There's no Restart, so I hit Reload, this just closes the window. Didnt even see an option to set editor!
Updated review: For one what Developer writes below is completely unclear. There is no documentation. Secondly, this is way too complicated. Googled and found that in addition to the host I need Node.js. I work in software and yet find this complicated. Cannot imagine how a casual user is expected to set this up. All this needs to be packaged within the extension.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou need a host to use this add-on, have you installed it?
The editor settings will be done on the host.
If you need support, please file an issue on GitHub.

About "Restart" and "Reload" wording, thanks for pointing out.
I'll fix it in next release.
