Rated 3 out of 5
by eUROs, 5 years agoAlthough that I this is a very interesting extension and can be a time saver to many text writing users on the web, I gave only 3 stars because it can ONLY replace text and symbols in the text box of "Google translate" website only. It doesn't work on any other website, or Addon/extension which have full/or pop up text page input window. Also it takes two steps to do this job, whereas other similar Addons do this with one-click of the button. (here you must click the addon on the toolbar, click Replace from the list, and after a Sidebar will open on the right side of the window... which is too much of actions to do).
-> For now I will go with the two similar addons which are very convenient to me. Those are: ◾ Replace by erosman and the ◾ Find & Replace for Text Editing by Dalimil Hajek.
Fix this problem (to be able to replace text everywhere and make the process in only one step), and I will give 5 stars on my rating.

- Rated 3 out of 5by EllieM, a month agoThe text replace functionality works well, but there is an issue with the changes to firefox which added vertical tabs and the 'show sidebar' setting.
If we switch to vertical tabs or enable the sidebar then it adds an icon for this extension, and it cannot be removed or disabled.
Please update the extension to fix this or tell us how to have the sidebar visible without the extension icon.Developer response
posted a month agoI have tried the vertical tabs now to see what you mean. I don't think there is a way to hide that icon. It is added automatically by Firefox because the the extension has a sidebar, so unless Firefox has some hidden setting to hide icons from extensions, there is nothing that can be done from extension code. - Rated 4 out of 5by LootingGoblin, 2 months agoSo far working as intended but I will need to use it a bit more to see. I found that to add a group of words to replace or have multiple words replaced AND to automatically replace when loading a new page you need to: 1). Go to manage extensions 2). Click the 3 dots next to this extension 3). Hit options 4). For auto replacing, at the bottom of the options page at "Other Settings", check the box for "Apply automatic substitutions on page load" 5). To add a list of words, hit the blue "Add" at the top 6). Select "Substitutions" instead of "URLs" 7). From there you can add your words and their replacement and change the name of the list too 8). Hit "OK" and it should work from now on!

- Rated 5 out of 5by haystreet, 5 months agoWorks as described. Replace method doesn't mess w/ Google Translated webpages' formatting, so I can use Stylus to get rid of those annoying paragraph indents.
- Rated 5 out of 5by lobace, 5 months agoUne extension que j'utilisais il y a bien longtemps et que j'avais perdue de vue. Je viens de la réinstaller sur mon ordi actuel, toujours aussi efficace.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Ʒmzêanndjë, 9 months agoNeed checkbox :
start with,
end with,
keep case sizing,
and to take in consideration of lang="?" of html page pro list.
Auto case sensitivity, to adapt replacement to a term, without need to add multiple time the same term with letter variant (capital minuscule).
Like AutoHotKey ::TC0?:: ‖ ::TC0::
; ? (question mark) :
;--------------------
;The hotstring will be triggered even when it is inside another word; that is, when the character typed immediately before it is alphanumeric.
;For example, if :?:al::airline is a hotstring, typing "practical " would produce "practicairline ".
;Use ?0 to turn this option back off.
; C: (Case sensitive) :
;----------------------
;When you type an abbreviation, it must exactly match the case defined in the script.
;Use C0 to turn case sensitivity back off.
Adding new term in end of list is painful and could be reversed,
also sorting list would be cool,
and a checkbox to set a replace as important or not, to made them first.
To add U.R.L. filtering to prevent to act in some URL.
And to use import export, common standard format pro replace / correction, to be able to use them elsewere (Word, Write, other program of this kind). - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18644928, 10 months agoi added this exstention to replace my deadname, didnt do shit

- Rated 5 out of 5by fox, a year agoFoxReplace rocks. Been using it for about 11 years. People online grow dumber and more aggravating every year but this add-on keeps their crap off the screen, easily and reliably.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11609870, a year agoSimple clear and easy to use so far. Search and replace text, it does what is says. Haven't done extensive testing to see if there are any issues as others have reported, but has been pretty solid for me.
- Rated 5 out of 5by sudo, a year agoWhat is the privacy policy of this add-on? Will change the rating to 5 if addon is privacy-respecting.
Developer response
posted a year agoOK, I have a added a short privacy policy to explain that nothing is collected. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16255010, a year agoSo far so good. I managed to make it work from options, but no thanks to the explanations of the author, which are non-existent, and the interface is also not intuitive. There is still a thing or two that I don't get, but I don't need it for now. For example the auto/auto-manual/manual stuff (I've put "auto" and it seems to work for what I want, but not clear what the other options do). Also the HTML output only/input&output; I have no clue what it means. Finally, the URLs to be typed. What does that do? Also right click and paste works only if you start typing something in a blued field, delete that and then paste.
A short (and good) explanation would be necessary. - Rated 5 out of 5by iG0R, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by BobbyMcBobson, a year agoMakes the internet more bearable for me.
edit:
The extension seems to disable itself anytime I restart Firefox. Is there any way to fix this? - Rated 4 out of 5by SonicAnatidae, 2 years agoThis is a very simple application. It mostly does what I needed. To simply replace every instance of WORD with OTHERWORD, while viewing/reading web pages. Well done.
Suggestions for future updates.
1. Allow more than 1 word to be replaced, although, this may be possible already, and I'm simply ignorant of the ability/syntax (ie. comma separated, etc)
2. When I toggle Reader mode, the app does not replace the text within the web page. Having the same functionality in reader mode, would be useful and a common use case, I believe.
Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by One, 2 years ago
