I am very sorry for the inconveniences.
Sadly, starting a few years back, Mozilla disabled direct access to WIndows API, making it impossible to directly put a windows on top. Instead, they provided this mechanism of external apps that extension devs could use.
But, you don't have to download already built app, you can download its source code and build it instead. In this way you will be able to control what the code does yourself.
I hope this helps
Please feel free to ask more questions if needed

I wish I had noticed the warning about Mozilla not actively screening it for security, I never would have installed it. Now I have uninstalled it, but am worried about what it might have left behind or if my PC now has some kind of spyware etc. :( I should have read the description page more carefully, so it's my own fault, but I trusted Mozilla to NOT allow anything like this to be added to their platform! :(

Couldn't get it on top unless is was made a separate window>shrunk desired stay on page and on top page>dragged them to attached to sides>then open the desired stay on page to full screen>then click on top page and shrink sides down but must maintain its attachment to the side - so is this really STAY ON TOP? Never works. We want to keep a STAY ON TOP tab on top of WHICH-EVER WINDOW OR TAB WE NAVIGATE TO. That's what the name STAY on top INSINUATES. (btw I'm not yelling I'm using caps for clarity of word importance. I don't know why ppl think it means yelling - it would only if it were angry words - duh. ha Is this just a few ppl saying this that is making it hard for the rest of us? really...so prevalent)
Why not make this FEATURE a FIREFOX FEATURE? It's a MAJOR DESIRE/NEED. I don't get how sizing pages and sticking them to the sides is supposed to accomplish this when they don't stay open whenever switching between them anyway. Thanks for hearing me out. Anybody? - Vurdering: 2 av 5av Firefox user 14404259, 2 år sidanWorks 25% of the time. Most of the time it somehow turns into Always on Bottom, i.e. it makes other programs stay on top instead of your browser. Some other times it make other windows of your browser stay on top instead of the window you wanna be on top.
I can't be bothered anymore. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 17334233, 2 år sidan

This extension will not run without first downloading a linked app. Malwarebytes identifies the app as a machine-learning type of malware.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 2 år sidanHello,
sorry, I've tried to contact a couple of antimalware apps about false positive identifications, but it just takes too much time.
Anyway, the additional app's code is open - you can even build it by yourself and it will work with Always on Top extension

Vasyl Maherka - Vurdering: 3 av 5av Spondley, 2 år sidanThis sentence "Starting from Firefox 57 it requires additional application" is everywhere, but nowhere does it say what the additional application is. What application is needed?
Svar frå utviklaren
posta 2 år sidanHello Spondley,
please feel free to install the extension and you will see the app needed as soon as you try to use Always on Top.
In general, starting Firefox 57, mozilla doesn't allow to call windows api from extensions' code. This is why the additional application is required.
Hope this help,

posta 2 år sidanВаня, it is clearly stated in the addon description:
"Starting from Firefox 57 it requires additional application" - Vurdering: 3 av 5av DrWorm, 3 år sidanWorks about half the time. Sometimes it just prevents firefox from being on top at all.
