    I lost all my lists after import some lists from another pc. Please consider to develop a auto-backup or multi-list combining feature. Many thanks.

    Awesome idea. But I'm experiencing an errors:
    1. Some sites start to partially duplicate text blocks if it has highlighted words. Need to refresh the page to fix it (YouTube), but sometimes even refresh doesn't solve the problem (Facebook).
    2. Almost all highlighted words have a vertical strip to their right and are underlined for some reason.
    Win10, Firefox 83.0

    This is probably the best highlighting tool available for Firefox at the moment.

    But the blacklist feature ("Never highlight on these sites") is not working. When I add any site to the list it stops the add-on of working on any site and blocks the access to the configuration. To fix it you have to purge the configuration (reinstalling).

    Firefox 69.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux

    I could not find the repo to try and create a PR.

    Update: if somebody else is experiencing this issue; restarting the browser fixes the problem.

    Hi, the restore of backup should work now. There was an issue with how Firefox handles popups

    This is an amazing addon for Firefox. The only thing missing is that it doesn't work with Firefox Android. Anyway to make this work?

    This is probably the best highlighting tool available for Firefox at the moment. However, I can't seem to get the import/export functionality to work correctly.

    When I hit export, I get a file with no file type associated with it, and importing that file does nothing. Tested with clean installs of the extension in Firefox.

    Currently running:
    Windows 10 (1903)
    Firefox 68.0.2
    Highlight This 4.7

    Exactly what would I write:
    "Been using this in Chrome for almost 3 years. And finally switched to Firefox. I love this tool!

    *New update: May 14, 2019
    Pastebin remote file sync do not work."

    Please update :) this addon is marvelous
