L'extension marchait très bien (avec Firefox et Windows 10 Professionel), puis elle a disparu d'elle-même. Quand je la réinstalle, elle ne propose aucune source Panist, le champ est vide, donc impossible de l'activer correctement. Merci de votre aide.

marche dans chrome mais pas dans firefox, le champ des sources est vide par défaut et impossible d'ajouter des sources panist, il n'y a rien dans le menu déroulant et on ne peut pas taper

Works well, when doing research is extremely useful. Might slow down pages sometimes (when you search for some article directly, since it's referenced in many places), but not significantly. Always one of the first addons I install with a new profile.
