  your changes and maintain them in the Textmarker history → [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [S]

  any highlight via context menu - not experimental anymore. default: activated.

  You can opt-out of syncing Textmarker. If you don't sync your Firefox addons Textmarker will store your data locally.

NOTES:
Permissions - what are they used for:
Textmarker does not send any data whatsoever to anyone. All permissions are mandatory in order for Textmarker to work. Access your data for all websites: For insertion of highlights and restoration of stored highlights as well as actions on Textmarker shortcuts the add-on has to read the text content of the page and react on pressing certain keyboard keys Display notifications to you: For displaying success, failure and error notifications - can be disabled in the settings Access browser tabs: Textmarker will add URL and page title to stored highlights for being able to restore highlights on page revisit
Looking for translators
Anyone interested in translating Textmarker (right now it's only available in English, German and French)?
Please contact me via e-mail and I will send you the text file.
Textmarker vs. PDF search-highlighting
Either use Textmarker or the search-highlighting functionality in FF's built-in PDF-viewer. They are not compatible. The latter works very different from search-highlighting on webpages and will mess up text marks that are in the same container as search results.
Note: FF doesn't allow extensions to work in built-in PDF-viewer anymore.
