This extension does a great job in highlighting multiple keywords in ALL pages.
So far, this is the only multi-page keyword highlighter I've seen for firefox 57+.
It has a great user interface, which is very intuitive.
You can use it as a multi-page keyword highlighter, and you can use it to refresh your memory for definitions of keywords, acronyms, or phrases.
Programmers, Engineers, and Military personal all have to deal with too many acronyms, and it's tough memorizing them all.
By using this add-on to create a list of keywords with their definitions, the user can hover the mouse over a predefined word and get a popup text with the definition.
It's great for programmers learning a new programming language, or those have have to dabble in multiple programming languages.
It's a good tool for anyone learning something new in general.
For example, I'm currently learning 3D Printing and CAD, which have many new terms. I'll read the definition of a new term, and then I don't see again until 2-4 weeks later. By then, I may not remember the exact meaning.
With this tool, every time I see a new term, I can add it to the list with the definition, and the next time the word comes up, I can use the tooltip to quickly get the definition.
Once I feel familiar with the term, I can easily deleted out of the list.
This tool is great as-is (5-stars), but I have some recommendations:
1. Add shortcut key to enable and disable highlighting.
2. Add functionality to include multiple words in one item. Use comma separation to distinguish each word.
3. Add feature to group multiple keywords and definitions, and include ability to enable and disable each group. Let user be able to customize highlight color for each group.
4. Add ability to have temporary keyword(s), which apply to all tabs. This can be done with existing GUI, by just letting the user enter the keywords in existing field, but not clicking the "Add" button. Maybe add an additional button "Apply to Newly Loaded Pages". With this change, I would also rename the "Add" button to "Save".
5. Let user customize color for each word.
6. Instead of having "Strict Match" option, break it down to two options (case match and whole word). Also consider having start of word and end of word option. Recommend using a combo box for start-word, end-word, and whole-word. The just have a switch for case match.
7. Have option to automatically apply different highlight colors to each keyword.
8. Add option to remove confirmation when deleting keywords.

objavljeno prije 8 godinaThanks for the feedback, David.
The intended use-case behind this extension is like this (clearly not explained very well in the description):
- You learn a new word. You are afraid you will forget the word unless you see or use it once in a while.
- You add the word to the list.
- The word is highlighted every time you encounter it while browsing the internet, and you get notified of it. It is supposed to reinforce the stickiness of the word.
- You check "History" tab (very recent feature) to find out which words in your list you encounter most often.
This is why you may need the extension even if you know the description of the word.
Thanks

- Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od iratuscatus, prije 3 godineIt works. I wish it had a contrast checker so that I could either use different highlight colors or change the word color to make some text more readable.
- Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od Rudolph, prije 3 godineVery useful for me, I use it literally everyday.
It would be preferable to me if you could add/edit a description to a word after you highlight it (on hover), instead of having to open the extension from toolbar every time. But otherwise, it is great. - Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od jokenngo, prije 3 godine
- Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od Gavan, prije 4 godineAmazing little extension. My only issue is I'd like to be able to clear all the words from a group instead of deleting each word individually.
I tried deleting the group to clear the words, but it moved all the words into the default group instead, which I use for something else. - Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od E.Critic, prije 4 godinety for this extension.
update: please allow us to export 'groups'. Exporting just the words doesn't do enough.

- Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od Odin2, prije 4 godineI sometimes can't put my finger on a word I want to use, and when that happens [and I've recalled the word] I enter it into Word Highlighter; problem solved! This excellent add-on has been made better with a new backup facility.
The one (minor) flaw is the lack of the ability to turn the highlighting off. Ideally, it could be turned off for a particular website. But it's great as it is.Odgovor programera

Disabling highlighting on some websites would be a nice addition. We'll add it, but I can't say how soon. Tracking item for the reference: https://github.com/ainzzorl/wordhighlighter/issues/86
Update (August 22, 2021) - you can now disable highlighting on specific pages for all words or for selected groups. See "Don't highlight on these pages" and "Except on these pages" under "Settings" and "Groups" tabs. - Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od olegzbf, prije 5 godinaхорошее приложение. но имеется лишь один цвет-желтый. просьба добавить другие цвета
Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 4 godineТеперь в разделе Settings вместо желтого можно выбрать любой другой цвет.
Не прошло и года :-) - Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od cmustudentx0001, prije 5 godinaThanks for the add-on.
It would be nicer if we can use hotkey to highlight the text. Also I wish we can have more color options. Thanks again~Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 4 godineSorry for the very late reply. Now you can change the color under in Settings.
I'm not quite sure about a hotkey to highlight the text - doesn't it highlight automatically when a page is loaded? - Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od Alexander Peter, prije 6 godinaHi... thank you for this work is usefull. I know every program need a lot of time. but can you develop customizable color for each word ? please .... i believe be better and more usefull for me
Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 4 godineYou can now assign words to different groups, and customize the color per group.
Sorry it took 2 years :-) - Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od Korisnik Firefoxa 14996507, prije 6 godina
- Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od Tutenstein, prije 7 godinaThis add-on is just plain amazing. One thing great about this extension is that it works with Firefox Android too. Is there any way this add-on can highlight symbols like quotation marks, hash tag, question marks etc? If you can add such functionality I would be very grateful.

No, it can't highlight non-alphanumerical symbols at the moment, unfortunately. I'll consider fixing it in the next release, but I don't know when and if it will happen - there are no plans to make changes to the addon at the moment. - Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od Korisnik Firefoxa 14600015, prije 7 godinaNice and usefull add-on!
Lot of thanks to the author!
It could be a much more popular if has more features:
1. Enable/disable add-on with 2 clicks on toolbar icon.
2. Ability to add/remove/export/subscribe many vocabularies and enable/disable them.
3. Subscribe feature would be great! It is just ability to import vocabulary from URL of text file.
4. Assign custon color of highlited word and background/text of description - for each vocabulary separately.Odgovor programera

These sound like good features for the next release, but I don't know when/if it will happen - there are no plans to make changes to the addon at the moment. - Ocijenjeno s 4 od 5od Korisnik Firefoxa 13061380, prije 7 godinaI couldn't get it to work with words with spaces in them, i.e, English phrasal verbs such as "look for" or expressions like "hodge podge" for instance, are not highlighted, only single words. I tried to use double (") or single quotes (') with no success.
As most learners (if not all) would benefit immensely from learning such words, I was wondering if there is any chance you could implement such useful feature?
Thanks in advance.Odgovor programera

I'm afraid I'm not planning to work on the add-on in the near future. But when (and if) I get time to work on it, this feature will be at the top of my priority list.

- Ocijenjeno s 1 od 5od Korisnik Firefoxa 14180704, prije 7 godinaWhy does this want access data for all websites? That's ridiculous and suspicious.
Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 7 godinaIt needs to read and modify the page to highlight words on it. So to highlight words on all websites it needs access to all websites. I'm pretty sure any add-on that modifies visited pages needs permissions like this, unless it's limited to a specific domain, e.g. facebook.com.
“Access your data for all websites” indeed does sound scary (see explanation why it's phrased this way: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/02/01/understanding-extension-permission-requests/), but luckily this add-on is open-source, so it's fairly easy to verify that it doesn't try to steal your data or anything like that: https://github.com/ainzzorl/wordhighlighter The source code can also be viewed using extensions like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/crxviewer/ - Ocijenjeno s 2 od 5od Korisnik Firefoxa 13501845, prije 7 godinait was great until it stopped working! No idea why
- Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od kringlur, prije 8 godinaWorks great in general, a good replacement for the now-dead "Vocabulary Highlighter" add-on which I was using before. I had one problem in that I tried to import 2,500 words and they all appear in the word list but on every page only 5-10 are highlighted. I don't know if this is my fault or a fault in the add-on. I have some suggestions:
1. You should be able to import/export your wordlist via a spreadsheet file or something similar. I'm gathering words to make my own dictionary, so being able to easily export and import all my words is very important. Right now you can highlight and copy-paste your wordlist from the add-on into a spreadsheet (thanks so much!!), but you can't import from a spreadsheet.
2. It would be nice if you could change the highlight color. I use another add-on (for people with bad eyesight) that changes all pages to black with white text, but reading white text with yellow highlight is really hard. Other people might want pink highlight for nouns, green highlight for verbs or suffixes, things like that. To other readers: if that option never happens, you can change the browser's highlight colour yourself using Stylish and some CSS.
3. When you first add a word via the right-click (context) menu, you should be able to add the definition at the same time. Right now it adds the word but the definition is blank so you have to immediately click on the add-on icon, click edit for the most recent word and then add the definition. Also right now it's hard to edit words you've already added that have wrong definitions, it would be better if you could right-click on the word on the page and edit it, or type it into a searchbar inside the add-on and it will find the one to edit for you.
4. It would be nice if you could claim one entry was the same as another entry so you didn't have to type the definition in a second time. Ex. "aqua" and "water" would both have the same definition as "water". This is for adding in things like abbreviations, common spelling mistakes, dialectal or historical versions of a word, etc. For example, I'm learning a language with no set spelling system, so the same word is spelled 10 different ways and I have to find and copy-paste the definition every time I find a new spelling! - Ocijenjeno s 3 od 5od Korisnik Firefoxa 13788560, prije 8 godinaI always used the vocabulary highlighter, so I am really happy to discover this add-on. But I have a problem, the restriction of three characters for the word we could highlight. For example I want to highlight this word: 六木
and add the description box: Mutsuki. But it is not possible with this add-on, could you do something about this?Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 8 godinaThanks for the feedback.
Indeed there's no good reason to restrict the word length, so I removed the restriction - please update to the newest version.
One thing: while testing the change, I noticed that it doesn't work with alphabets other than English. I hastily added support for Japanese, Chinese and Russian, but I'm not sure it works very well (it may have problems detecting where one word ends and another begins).
