- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17434746, 2 years agoGreat! Would love to be able to simply search with cmd+F and highlight all instances. At present seems limited to clicking, but I may be overlooking the function. Still nice but but really need cmd+F to find all without having to click so if there's an app for this pls lmk!
- Rated 4 out of 5by bto, 3 years agoNative Mode helps quite a bit to bring back the functionality and speed of the old FindbarTweak addon. Thank you so much for this addon!
One complaint: doesn't work for text inside scripted elements, such as the search bars on google/bing. Ideally I'd be able to select a search term I just used, and see exactly where it matches within the search results below.
One feature I'd really love to see is the option to hook into the Findbar - including the ability to send highlighted text into the Findbar for easier navigation with next/previous, and to allow selecting options such as "Match Case" on the fly.
Again, thanks so much for this excellent extension! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15523302, 4 years agoIts great add-on, just that after page refresh it resets, only drawback I saw.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Rogério, 5 years agoCongrats man, very useful!! Thank you.
It's only weird that it's not deterministic when the text will keep selected after highlighting, sometimes it will (and I can copy), sometimes it won't at all, and sometimes it looses it partially... So sometimes I'd like to disable the extension, but I cannot seem to easily do it!! There's two options: Always on, where the shortcut do not work at all, and Activate on shortcut, which makes it disabled by default! Could you please include a Disable on shortcut (to keep it enabled by default, but able to disable it), or just always enable shortcut?
I would also like to see its code open on github. Think about that. - Rated 4 out of 5by VILYAM, 5 years agoХорошее дополнение, не хватает только Русского языка, не удобно настраивать методом тыка.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Aaron Fooshée, 5 years agoDownloaded to get markers on my scrollbar. HighlightAll is a decent solution until Firefox makes this a standard like Chrome does. Only allows for searching of text on the page, not user input.
As I have it setup, I have to do a complicated shortcut (using the fn key to bring up f8 on my Macbook's Touchbar, so it would be nice to have the option to assign my own shortcut.
Generally good functionality, thanks Jerome. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 9827664, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14767561, 6 years agoDoes exactly what I need, but it is a pain to use it. Highlighting is extremely slow – it takes several seconds. The animation for color selection box is annoyingly long and also currently broken (it disappears).

posted 6 years agoIt is not supposed to be so slow.
Don't hesitate to post details on your configuration on my contact form : http://jgoudey.free.fr/highlightall/contact.php5
I will try to help you. - Rated 4 out of 5by Cool Franz, 6 years agoSo far so good. I was looking for just the basic feature, but I found the multiple-word custom highlight feature even more useful!
I'd like word selection to activate the standard highlighting even when using custom colours (i.e. I select the word -> it highlights all instances with native colour + it shows the custom colours popup)
Custom highlights can be deactivated through the right-click menu. However I think it would be better to have a blank X button next to the other colours. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14643587, 6 years agoThis is an extremely useful tool, that helps increase my productivity in my day to day work. Will recommend to colleages as well.
Custom mode is quite slow, at least on my use case. So I am sticking with native mode, as it is significantly faster.
If only it was possible to click on the "number of occurrences" pop up to take you to the next occurrence, it would be perfect! :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14564184, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12297434, 7 years agoExcellent! This add-on is exactly what I was looking for without knowing it!
Very good job!
Just a small problem: at first, the feature does not work on some page, until I check / uncheck ALL options at least once (!).
Error as seen in the console :
TypeError: prefs.copyToClipboard is undefined (same with "prefs.alwaysHighlight")
[Firefox 62.0b15 (64 bits, on Ubuntu Linux 18.04), HighlightAll 2.1] - Rated 4 out of 5by randomofamber, 7 years agoNice... But It would be the best, if it will be connected with findbar...
- Rated 4 out of 5by mantheakis, 7 years agoEnables you to select words and right-click on them to highlight all instances on current page. Useful when hunting keywords in search-result pages.
- Rated 4 out of 5by RexYcn, 7 years ago插件功能:只是代替Ctrl+F的高亮功能。
好处:快速便捷,可以使用右键菜单快速高亮选择的文字(仅限当前页面)。
但不是我需要的功能:我需要的是常驻高亮,设定关键字之后,无论是刷新页面还是打开新页面都自动一直高亮,类似以前的SearchWP,所以我要继续寻找SearchWP的替代品。 - Rated 4 out of 5by syldub, 7 years agoNow that you implemented the display of search markers beside the scrollbar, your extension really ROCKS!!
Just an enhancement suggestion: when using a custom color, could you also change the color of the search markers in the scrollbar to be the same color as well? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 6490726, 7 years agoUnfortunately your contact form doesn't work (says mailserver down), so let me add some feature suggestion here:
1. Multi selection.
While holding CTRL it is possible to make multiple non-contiguous text selections (either by dragging the mouse or double clicking on words for example). Would it be possible to search for each of these selections automatically and highlight them in different colors? This would be very useful if you'd want to see where certain selections appear close to each other again on a page.
2. Trigger highlight by context menu
I usually select text with my mouse so the keyboard shortcut is a bit "far away" (and I don't want to have highlight activated all the time). Would it be possible to add a context menu entry to trigger the highlighting?
3. Keep the highlight even if the selection is reset
It would also be nice if the highlight could be kept active until either a new selection is made or highlight is made by the context menu added in 2, depending on how the highlight was triggered.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the suggestions. I am working on evolutions that will make it possible. Point 2) coming soon. Stay tuned !
