    Huge variety of accents are easily created but then vanish. Add-on is broken.

    Windows10x64, Firefox63x64:

    Functionality is ultimately broken since Quantum.

    Now "User Defined Macros" are completely destroyed.

    Declaration of alt-k binding is false. Just false.
    Alt-c is effective in very rare occasions.

    All and every non-favourite languages form-up a kilometre-tall menu that is mostly unusable.

    And esperanto hints here-and-there are plain derision and humiliation of a user.

    Fixes are urged:
    1) repair alt-x to work everywhere
    2) repair alt-k whatever it does. I never had a chance to know-out what it is supposed to do
    3) repair user macros
    4) replace entire history of humankind languages with the only favourite languages for pop-up.

    Until then this add-on is useless.

    Edited:
    Example of broken websites: web.whatsapp.com, slack.com, wikipedia.org, ... most of sites. And addons.mozilla.org here too.
    Macros are mostly default: https://justpaste.it/6xnpm
    Alt-K is not reserved in Windows10Firefox64, it just fails to work.
    "fr, de, es" defines a killometre-tall popup with all letters possible.

    Since Quantum all extensions in Firefox are standard web extensions, which means some functions are no longer available (for example smooth abcTajpu inserting into the address bar or search box ). That said, macros do work for the websites I tested on (and tested on Windows 10, Windows 7, Android). Please check the format is good a=b|c=d etc, and if still a problem send me a URL to test on. Some (complex) sites do interfere with abcTajpu (alt-k and especially alt-x), so it can't be expected to work everywhere (but at least the clipboard should get populated).

    Alt-k just starts the popup (which is the same as pressing the green abcTajpu button on the toolbar). Firefox can't yet remap keys, so if alt-k is already assigned then pressing the button is all you've got.

    Favourite languages can be configured in the third options entry by putting a comma separated list of language codes, for example for French and Spanish enter fr, es (note there is a space after the comma).

    I don't know what changed, but it updated and suddenly I can't use the INS shortcut, and I can't configure it because the menu cuts off and the instructions are unclear. Typing [letter][accent], then typing INS and having the accent 'jump' onto the letter, was WAY easy and I really wish that feature would come back, because I got used to using it.
