posted 7 days agoHello,
Sadly, this is a browser limit and they don't want to increase it:

I plan to implement custom synchronization, but that will take some time.
Note that you can change the storage to "local" which is unlimited, but not synchronized/backed up, to other devices. See Settings / Options / Storage .
Best Regards,
Juraj Mäsiar- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18334820, a month agoIngenious and amazing solution for highlighting keywords (customer names on the WC orders page) and adding a comment about them.
I was hoping to be able to synchronise data with another PC without needing to sync Firefox. Perhaps the possibility of defining the path of the local backup?
Thanks!Developer response
posted a month agoHello,
The path to auto-save is not really possible, addons doesn't have direct access to drive, apart from creating a file in the default "Downloads" folder.
I plan to add some kind of remote synchronization, although I'm not sure when exactly (I've build too many addons and many of then needs upgrades :)).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tutenstein, 5 months agoAn amazing addon that works in Firefox Android as well that I have been waiting for a long time. The one thing that I've noticed that can and should be improved is if the side screen scroll highlight worked and behaved similar to the in browser highlight of Firefox app as the side screen highlight of the addon are longer and tend to block the words on that part of the screen and also clump together if there are many highlights on a page instead of being spread out. Otherwise an amazing addon that I think every Firefox user should have irrespective of the platform.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Louis Cook, 5 months agoNeedless to say, this is a great extension. Especially when it comes to regular expression support, it's unbeatable. Because nowadays, it's hard to find a better extension with regular expression support in the Firefox Add-ons Store. Considering the color markers next to the right scrollbar, I think it's almost a replacement for Firefox's own FIND functionality.
Speaking of the color marker on the right, I know that its function is to make it easy for me to find the location of the highlighted text, but it doesn't seem to be horizontally aligned with the text content, specifically, any higher than the text highlighting.
Finally, the only suggestion I can make is that the "copy" search rule doesn't seem to work as expected. This is because when I want to copy rules from other pages, it always copies the links to the domains contained in the rules from the other pages, which results in the copied rules not being immediately applied to the current page I want. I might as well just copy the search text and create a new rule on a new page if I want to achieve my goal, but that seems a bit tedious.
I hope this is just a personal operational issue for me, and thanks again for the extension! - Rated 5 out of 5by Matix, 8 months ago

posted a year agoThank you :)
Sometimes I do regret not having a "normal" job with nice salary like everybody else.
But seeing people happy with my addons feels even better.
Have a great day :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by QMarvin, a year agoVery useful! Thanks a lot for this.
I have a suggestion. The context menu is displayed on right mouse click. It wouldn't be bad to have context menus (icons) automatically displayed when text is selected, with the option to choose where this context menu is displayed in relation to the position of the selected text (above, below, left, right, delayed) for the sake of other such context menus (e.g. S3 Translator).
Absolutely awesome would be to automatically display this icons context menu even after the text is automatically tagged and searched by typing (a standard Firefox search feature). - Rated 5 out of 5by Davide, 2 years agoWould be cool if we change the "match type" to "url is", if the "url" text
field would then change from only the domain to the FULL url. So then the
highlights can quickly be saved for only that single page. Currently it requires
manually copying and pasting the url...
Great addon, thank you :-)Developer response
posted 2 years agoHello,
Yeah, that's pretty bad UX. I'm surprised nobody reported this sooner.
I will fix this in the next release.
Thank you for pointing this out!
