Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 12924158, 7 years agoI have been using and loving this extension in its previous versions for as long as i remember using firefox (since version 0.6, fifteen years ago or something like that).
It has been most helpful. Always handy to have a page color picker AND a "color manager" to quickly find a color when working on a webdesign.
I found myself using the color manager even in other situations, because it was just there... always a firefox instance opened, colorzilla a click away.
Now, since version 3, it is sadly UNUSABLE!
You can still approximately use the color picker to copy a webpage color but colorzilla is now NOT A PERSISTENT WINDOW, it disappears once it loses focus.
This means you can't see the result of your colors fiddling persistently anymore, colorzilla just SHUTS DOWN AND LOSES ALL CHANGES.
How dumb is that?
I have been forced to install another color manager: Sharp Color Picker. This one has a permanent window and won't cut your throat behind your back.
Please, use your extension once in a while, and see for yourself how you made it unusable for all your real users out there.
Anyway, thanks a lot to you for years of good service, it is just sad you made this unfortunate step.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15937049, 7 days agoI've been a big fan of ColorZilla for as long as I can remember. It's SO helpful to quickly get color specs. I'm looking forward to working more with the gradient generator, as well.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14874462, 7 days agoAs a web designer, I use this frequently. It's also helpful for making print graphics when I want to match font colors with logos, etc.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14027775, 7 days agoI already use this as my go-to tool since version 1 (Firefox) when replicating website color palettes. This rewrite seems much more stable and provides a key feature of sampling averages up to 25x25 pixels, something that I've wanted since starting to use this add-on . Thank you so much for your key contribution in the area of graphics tools.
