Avis de Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13713422 de Firefox

I could not quickly find any better/other extension to highlight text that is saved automatically in the same file (I use Zotero to save interesting websites but a highlight feature is missing there).

After a few reloads, I can confirm that Persistent Highlighter seems to do the job on the latest Firefox version.

I suggest to put the highlight options directly into the right click context menu and not in a subsection. Then it would be so much faster to use.
Of course, ideally there should be an option to switch marking on so that any selected text will be highlighted instantly.

It is interesting that such a fundamental function like instant highlighting seems so hard to implement - well, I am glad at least this add-on exists - thank you for that!

    Simply doesn't do anything at all anymore...

    Uninstalled when the "remove highlight" didn't work. Other than that it's okay. I think it's color selector is "bloated" (to many useless colors to choose from); sometimes simple is better.

    Thank you very much! Thank god there's a simple web extension addon to highlight text in web pages (until a proper one appears).

    A tool to highlight is the simplest thing to do: insert "span background-color:#FFFF00 ..", but you can't find an editor/addon to do just this.

    Almost all of them can't edit previous saves, and if one does you must do things its way (no guarantees).

    Tested this with pages saved with SingleFile and worked!

    It got stuck on a deep orange color, so dark it was hard to read the text, and simply would not change color after I chose one on the background color popup.

    Right away I found this extension useful! It's easy to figure out and very helpful. The only thing I would add if I could was the ability to save the highlighted text to some sort of notepad for later.

    I agree with visiteur668. Excellent tool. Very usefull. Thank you.
    The improvment I would suggest is bar icons (or special keys stroke) in order to select/change colors and highlight selected text with a single click (as it was possible with Prostetnic highlighter... where selected colour icon indicated selected colour without the need to check from the menu). Right click menu needs at least two clicks).

    unfortunately do not work well. Content of the choose color panel is never displayed and I have to select and highligh a word at least 6 or 7 times before it is kept for future usage.:(

    Works well ! Thank's.

    The improvment I would like is a menu (or special keys stroke) in order to select/change colors (as it was possible with Prostetnic highlighter...)... Also a menu icon appearing in the menu bar would be welcome :-))

    not working

    Does what I need it to. I wish it only took one click instead of 2 to highlight something tho, and I wish there was a clear highlighting option.

    Click right mouse button or equivalent while cursor is over a highlighted passage. There should be a menu item that says "This highlighted passage...", with options for your choice of modifying (basically changing the colors) or removing the highlight.

    I had to make this a separate menu from the add-on's own context menu because WebExtensions API doesn't offer a SelectorContext for context menus. HTML does, so I got devious and told my content script to attach such a menu to each highlighted element.

    First time ever using this add on and it's SO useful for people like me with ADHD.. I know I can manually remove the colors by choosing a white background and black text, but this won't work every time.
    I can see in the previous comments that there IS a clear highlighting button separate from the context menu, but I can't seem to find it at all. Can someone help me out here please?
  • par Jerry, il y a 8 ans
    The selector is located at the top of the context menu. I loved Prostetnic and am very disappointed that it is gone. Whyyyy? But n8chz has at least given us, free of charge, a backup. Thank you.
  • par GodzGirl, il y a 8 ans
    No.....if u dont have time to really keep up, just do it. Prostetnic was awesome, this is a waste of the second it takes to download. What really blew me was, in choosing a color, which is an inconvenience, it CLOSED THE ENTIRE BROWSER. Please just call it day and remove it from the add-on list. I gave one star because it wouldn't allow me to post w/o it, but I certainly tried to give it a negative 0.

    There is no option to **clear** a highlight. I think the developer intends to work on this addon but as of now this addon is more like a test-bed for the developer than a finished product for the user.

    It's on a separate context menu from the one used for highlighting and color selection. That couldn't be helped because the WebExtensions API does not include a selector context, so I had to perpetrate a little hack with HTML's version of context menus.
