posted 8 months agoSeems fine on my latest Firefox. What version are you seeing the issue?
Also, it's much kinder to submit bugs on github instead of what you've done.- Rated 2 out of 5by Goulart, a year agoIt works fine... But it's not my first choice.
I prefer "Reedy".
Because it's has more features and it's more configurable. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18218438, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Shade, 2 years agoIt would be nice to be able to trigger it with right-click, but otherwise, it's great!
- Rated 5 out of 5by noetics, 2 years agoIt works very well! Note, if you want to use it to read locally downloaded PDFs, you can't just open them in firefox and use this extension. There is a work around, https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html. This link is the web version of that same PDF viewer, so the extension actually works. It defaults to some demo file, but if you to open your own file at this link, there is a button in the top right right corner near the end of the black tool bar.
One feature that would be nice is if there was a way to trigger it either from the right click menu or a keyboard shortcut because having to mouse over to the tool bar every time is just the tiniest bit tedious on my laptop track-pad.
Thanks for the great, free tool! - Rated 5 out of 5by Dan Barfuss, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Franck, 2 years agoGood but after to have adjust speed, add-on doesn't keep speed value. And to add right-click will be very cool! Thx

- Rated 5 out of 5by jon, 3 years agoVery helpful and visually pleasant. Could use an option to increase number of words shown at a time (clustering).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16780982, 3 years agoI think it is great but it falls short on one matter: being able to increase the words shown from 1 to 2+.

posted 2 years agoThanks for the rating! Took a while but this is now implemented. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16927675, 4 years agoI really like this extension. I was looking for an extension like SwiftRead but it's only available for Google. This extension is as closest as it gets.
> Same vibes and looks as SwiftRead
> Serves its purpose as a speed reader
> The dark theme and highlighted letters really asists my eyes in the reading process
It doesn't have much customazion/options that you can tweak around to your liking, but it's perfect if you just want a speed reading extension.
