It works well for me but badly needs a dark mode toggle or to respect system-wide darkmode. The site responds well to darkreader but that doesn't extend to add-ons. It can't be that hard. Most addons that have a dropdown menu have a darkmode option.

Been using Prolific for over a year now and the website is great. The extension for Firefox was fine and working well up until a couple of days ago. Firefox had an update that for some reason messed up my settings on the browser and I had to do a fresh install to fix everything. Since this, the extension is not updating and it shows "err" on the little icon. When you click on the refresh button, it won't refresh. I am missing out on studies because of this. Hopefully this can get fixed soon.

Check interval selector is not available in settings. Furthermore, studies notifications are always late.

It works fine for me! And the reason things are gone already is because everyone is going for it. Chill!

It is very safe.

Practically useless, it does not refresh for hours at a time, and on the rare occassion that it does detect a study, even if you immediately go to Prolific the study is almost always already full.

You still have to be quick, but generally I can get there quick enough to be able to take part in the study.

It worked well until the last update. Since then it stucks, checks every 2 min, which is worthless, all studies are left with 1 or 0 remaining places.

No longer seems to tell you if there are surveys available. You have to actually be on the website for it to tell you at all. So, there is absolutely no point in downloading this addon. Seriously. Don't waste your time with this.

It's stuck and I cannot click on 'last checked' to update :/

An absolute lifesaver.

After a few years use, I am happy to recommend it still. Updated 30.09.2023

Just started using this. There are just a few simple settings to adjust things like volume etc. It's very easy to use and has already notified me of a survey I would otherwise have missed.
Update.
In the last three hours I have been notified of three studies that I would not have known about. I check Prolific once a day at most, so if this add-on continues to work I am likely to do a lot more of them. Well done Prolific.

Is there any way to disable the sound on Firefox ? I can see there's meant to be in the description, but cannot for the life of me find where to actually do it - Thanks

I suggest you increase the frequency check for the new studies. Usually after I click on the notification, there is either 1 or mostly 0 studies left.

it only gives the announcement when there's like 1 or 0 places left

recently only notifying by exclamation mark with no audio announcements like usual.

The app itself is very good, but the problem is, that the only can check for studies every 60 seconds. Thats too long. Most studies are full within a minute, so you cant participate in it. I wish the devs would make it that it could update faster, like very 10sec or so.

Running this on Firefox Ver 80.0 with a clean browser profile and I only have a ERR icon on the app.
