- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13240872, 5 years agoDoesn't seem to work any more. It just says 'Cookies are disabled in your browser' which they are not. I have tried on 2 different PCs and it is the same.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Adm Izr, 5 years agoThis app installed itself, hid itself by not showing up on my toolbar and then gave itself permission to collect all my data, if I wanted this level of bull$hit I would just use chrome! Really what an epic bunch of Sh!t this is!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Rocketman, 5 years agoThis product from Amazon is a distraction, an intrusion, and is insulting. I don't need or want this much "help." Whatever genius thought this was a good idea should be fired.

- Rated 1 out of 5by matt wilkie, 5 years agoThe bookmarklet I used to use was better (Amazon Add to Wishlist Bookmarklet). This addon snoops all pages I visit, and at times actively interferes the current site. I want something that is only active when I call on it. I'm going back to having one window open to amazon and manually copying urls to the wishlist.

- Rated 1 out of 5by brad6, 5 years agoDoesn't work w/ my Firefox - simply says it can't access the internet (which I'm submitting this with.)
- Rated 1 out of 5by cyberbiker, 5 years agoAll I want is the old universal amazon button. What you get with this add-on is messages, popups, etc - even when you have all notifications turned off. When you contact Amazon "customer service" about it, their "fix" is to uninstall it.
A ten-year-old could code a better add-on. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15378247, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15373251, 5 years agoUsed to be helpful way to add non-Amazon items to wishlist. Now is overly sketchy and overlays actually BLOCK ordering from other sites. No thank you!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14711863, 5 years agohere's what i was hoping for when i saw this add-on option: a little widget/badge/icon that would notify me of ONLY shipping updates when i turned the widget/badge/icon on or off. after clicking, reading not 1, not 2, but the first 3 permissions that i need to grant is astoundingly stupid to allow.
This is the EXACT wording... only copy and pasting here....
"This add-on can:"
1. "Access your data for all websites"
2. "Read and modify bookmarks"
3. "Monitor extension usage and manage themes"
what was i thinking? ALL WEBSITES? Modify my bookmarks? And for those that don't understand no. 3, basically they want to see what add-blocker i'm employing and "white list" Amazon and Amazon "friendly" websites.
now, i don't mind doing business with them. i need a particular service, they provide the service. our business transaction should end there, not fucking NEVER END!
edit: spelling - Rated 1 out of 5by Kay~Den, 5 years agoMuch like the other reviews, it didn't do much for me either, other than giving me the option to add the item to my 'wish list'. Also it was never a banner at the top of the webpage or even in a pop-up window or drop down menu (well, other than the 3 dots on the top right of my browser, where everything is → settings, bookmarks, tools, etc), so the only way I could use it was to have it opened in a seperate window and manually search for the item I wanted to compare prices with.
Which at this point was no different than the way I use to do it; search for things online, look at different places, different prices, go onto Amazon's app and search for the same product to see if they have it any cheaper. The only difference is it's much, much easier to search on Amazon's app than to use this "assistant", because at least with the app I could do more than just add it to a 'wish list'.
This was a great idea and I would have loved to use this, unfortunately it just didn't do anything it said it would or could. At first I thought it was because I was trying to use the app on a smartphone, rather than a desktop or laptop computer, but as I read the comments, I found out this annoyance happens across the board. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15261551, 6 years agoVery poor. Either Fire Fox or Amazon is using part of my email suryve........us@yahoo.cia...... and is exposing my password at Amazon. Remove Fiefox account and also the Amazon account immediately, or both Fiefox ans Amazon.comare history-no orders no $'s, period!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13890366, 6 years agoDoes not improve search quality at all. I tested searching for "piracetam." Not one single item contained that word, or that ingredient. I know Amazon sells it, but you can't find it. It may be there, on page 25-50, but it's much easier to buy somewhere else.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15221449, 6 years agoIntrusive add-on that cannot be removed. Does not show up in Control Panel. It is a pain in the donkey.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14423297, 6 years agono longer works, can not log-in only sends you to the web site. It will not save non-amazon items to wish list like it used to.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15014803, 6 years agoThis app used to work. Now it just pops up with a single button that says, "add to wishlist" and when you click it, it brings up Amazon.com in a new tab and doesn't allow you to add anything to your wishlist at all. What is the point of this now?
It used to allow you to add to any wishlist you have all from the pop up. Now it doesn't allow you to add to any. Malfunctioning.
