Excellent functionality, very useful - until it prevented the saving of bookmarks.
Disabling the extension restores normal bookmarking operation.
Linux, FF v64 and at least one version earlier.
Problem:
I bookmark a page, it's visible in the bookmarks list, but when restarting FF it's no longer there.
Also, after bookmarking one page on a tab and moving to the next (un-bookmarked) page on a different tab, that page shows as bookmarked: the star in the address bar is filled in blue - but this is bogus: clicking on it does nothing and neither does the menu entry "Bookmarks|Bookmark This Page".
Essentially I find the same problem as poster m4758406 (5 months ago at the time of this post).
A very poor workaround can be had by keeping an external list of sites, and then copy/pasting each URL one at a time. Bookmark one tab, close FF, restart (bookmark was saved) - then copy/paste bookmarking the next in the same way.
I'm not sure the developer is still actively supporting this and his other extensions: the last updates for them are showing as a year ago.
That's unfortunate. Aside from the bookmarking problem this extension was very useful.

Thank you for this addon!
Feature request:
-------------------
Please support to run javascript code for "Address" field (also with address placeholders in the code).
small examples:
Show Title: javascript:void(prompt('Current%20Tab%60s%20Title:',document.title));
Show Domain: javascript:void(prompt('Current%20Tab%60s%20Domain:',~$D$~));
View Cookies: javascript:alert('Cookies%20stored%20by%20this%20host%20or%20domain:\n\n'%20+%20document.cookie.replace(/;%20/g,'\n'));
Feature request/conflict:
----------------------------
Allow to change via options/settings the, relative to the selection, position of the popup window when selecting text.
I am asking this because the popup window is now conflicting with the popup icon/bubble of the add-on "Google™ Translator" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-translator-webextension/).

- by Firefox user 13059757, 24 days agoRated 5 out of 5Great addon! Super useful! Can anyone direct me to a minimum of documentation such as using $ S $ - $ U $ etc?
- by Salsa, a month agoRated 3 out of 5Why did you stop remembering the changed settings? When it became difficult to say, I haven't changed anything for a long time, but after restarting the changes disappear.
Почему перестало запоминать измененные настройки? Когда это стало трудно сказать, давно ничего не менял, но после перезапуска изменения пропадают - by Firefox user 617803, 3 months agoRated 5 out of 5
- by DiverSant, 3 months agoRated 3 out of 5There is no better at the moment, but In the latest versions of Firefox, no changes in this add-on are saved, I add new search engines, after rebooting the browser, they disappear, as well as setting up auto copy.

- by BobDawson, 5 months agoRated 4 out of 5Great little add-on. I use it all the time. I keep on having to disable the popup. I'll uncheck the option and have to uncheck it again some time (even days) later.
- by Elua, 5 months agoRated 5 out of 5I love pop-up icons and default engines selection. Adding new engine is easy and intuitive. Good job.
- by otto_beuren, 6 months agoRated 5 out of 5I'm using the Add-in "Selection Context Search" with the Firefox 79.0 (64 bit).
I configured the pop-up window according to my wishes and safed the configuration in a .json - file
But, after a new start of Firefox, the Add-on loads the default settings and I have to import my personal configuration.
What shall I do? - by Fullmoon, 6 months agoRated 4 out of 5Please add Shift_JIS to the option selection.

This feature should really be provided by Firefox itself. - by Firefox user 5926074, a year agoRated 4 out of 5I want you to be able to set that the copy function to the clipboard is not applied to the input field.

- by Mike, a year agoRated 4 out of 5Excellent and works perfectly! Brilliant configuration setup.
Would be a great help if we could turn off the favicons as they seem very slow sometimes to appear and just "pop" in.... quite distracting. - by Boray Eris, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5
