Review by Mark Craig
Rated 2 out of 5
by Mark Craig, 8 years agoThis extension was formerly one I used daily. However, in the mere month since the release of Firefox 57 this extension has changed authorship not once but TWICE. At least twice now the extension has been updated to demand further permissions. In light of these out of the ordinary "developments", and considering that the most recent author appears to be Russian and knowing how much nationalistic partisan insanity is taking place now, I cannot reasonably trust it with my very personal details any more. I frankly don't trust my fellow Americans not to be greedy self-interested shits, but at least with them there's some hope that I can maintain some degree of oversight. That is simply not possible with an author living in a country antagonistic toward my own and lacking the same regulatory controls.
Addendum: here it is four months later, and AGAIN this extension is demanding new permissions, and THIS time it's unfettered access to the Windows clipboard! Nope, no possibility at all for malicious activities with that permission. This is precisely how abuse often happens: get people hooked on a potentially useful product, then slowly and patiently begin to pervert it to serve its creators' ulterior purpose.

posted 8 years agoThe first time the extension requested permission "Access your data for all websites" because there was a transition from the XUL version to the WebExtension. In the XUL version permission was not asked. In WebExtension permissions began to be declared.
Then I added the ability to export profiles to the new version, which can be implemented only through download API, so the following permission was needed - "Download files and read and modify the browser`s download history".
The explanation of these permissions is in Security FAQ:

++++ bir eklenti. - Rated 5 out of 5by AlphaGrey, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Proudo, a year agoEach time I have to restart firefox, informenter loads an empty profile. I have to manually load my saved profile every time. It's very annoying.
Apart from this issue, the addon works pretty good, I've been using it for ages ;) - Rated 3 out of 5by MaamuT, 2 years agoHormis ce petit problème de saisie qui disparait sans raison, ce plugin est parfait.
Pour info, si ça vous arrive, ajoutez puis supprimez une espace dans le champ de saisie. - Rated 5 out of 5by froggytuff, 2 years agoI've used this for over 10 years. I install it straight away everytime I do a new copy of Firefox
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nibinaear, 2 years agoIt really needs to add an extra space at the end the text is pastes in and then delete it again. Otherwise many websites can't see the text for some reason.

fast fix after a problem, great addon
Old review:
was great, but since a few days slows loading pages enormously, had to deactivate it, then everything was fine again: https://imgupload.io/image/2020-12-04-141821.QzCU
FF83.0 (64-Bit)
Version 0.884 23. November 2020
Hope this gets fixed, than it is a 5 star, very helpful tool.
@developer sent you an email - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14179474, 5 years agoVersion 0.884 has INSANE cpu usage on win7 and ff 83.0, it seems like you added a cryptocurrency miner and not a "covid donation link".
Uninstalled, reverted back to 0.883, everything is good again.
Be sure to disable auto-updates for this in the future!Developer response
posted 5 years ago1) All extensions in the browser are open source - you can look at the source code of version 0.884 and make sure that there is no malware code there.
Even easier - you can compare the code of versions 0.883 and 0.884 and make sure that only the link was added.
2) All extensions on addons.mozilla.org are automatically checked for code. If there was something suspicious in the new version, the version would be blocked.
3) I have no opportunity to test version 0.884 under win7, but I ran the same version in Chromium and this is what the Chromium task manager showed:
