yes! finally found this extension. my online life will be so much better!

It "just works". This adds a common IDE feature to firefox that comes in really handy for browsing online code.

Works.

Anyone who occasionally inspects or reviews code in a browser needs functionality like this.

e.g. double-click on a variable or function and you know how/where it's being used.

Thanks Jerome, great add-on.

Jumping out of the color selection will cause the selected text to be out of focus, which will make it difficult to drag and drop the selected text to search. Please provide a third option to automatically use the set color in turn instead of jumping out of the color selection.

HighlightAll's select and highlight feature is excellent. The persistent highlight while I scroll around on a web page is just what I wanted since the native FF highlight usually goes away after a few seconds. I use Selection Context Search which creates a pop-up for highlighted text so I do not get the color choice pop-up for HA which is no biggee. I would like a "Display matches count" number on an Add On icon in the top FF bar instead of a lower right pop-up. Overall, an awesome add on!

Does exactly what I wanted. As a developer, I found a need for this in the browser.

Très bon add-on, serait-il possible d'ajouter la comptabilité avec la mise en évidence des recherches dans la barre de défilement qui est apparue avec Firefox 87 ?
Merci !

A terrific free, useful, intuitive and unobtrusive add-on -- a great productivity tool which should be in the "Recommended extensions" category!

I have been happily using this in it's most basic mode ("Native highlighting") for quite a while before reviewing its options today following the update to v2.3 and "discovering" the "Custom highlighting" features of multiple highlights in different/selectable colors, and the scroll bar search/location markers -- yet more elegantly-implemented genius!

However, there is no obvious way to contribute to the author so as to fund the awarding of (at least) the "Verified extensions" designation (read the caution in the title's summary description "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing. Learn more"). See "Add-on Badges -- Firefox Help" at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-badges

I hope he knows I'm grateful for this "gift".

Superb addon, especially the clickable markers is such an useful feature. If possible, I'd love to be able to change the text color of secondary hits in Custom Mode to white (resembling the behavior in Native Mode).

Also, there is a very minor 'bug', in that when you click the page to turn off the highlights, the primary hit very briefly flashes color to that of a secondary hit before actually disappearing, instead of disappearing right away. It's so insignificant that it might not even be considered a bug, but i thought i should let you know anyway.

Thank you again for this amazing addon

Dear Dev, can you add an option in extension to skip the selection when only one or two empty spaces are selected? It just highlights the whole page spaces at once. and maybe change the default pink color to yellow or something

Is this open source? Where can I see the code?

After the re installation, it returned to normal.
It's still the best highlight addon.

This does exactly what I was hoping it would do. Thanks

Nice! I could make the experience a lot better if there was a toolbar icon to manage it, rather than going to the settings.
Also, it would be amazing if we could add custom words to highlight, instead of selecting text first.
