Allows you to filter the options in any drop down menu to quickly find something. You can filter by 'contains', 'not contains', 'begins with', 'ends with', 'does not begin with', and 'does not end with' or by any combinations thereof.
Filter Drop-Down Menu is a Firefox add-on that allows you to easily filter options in drop-down menus. With options to filter by 'contains', 'begins with', 'ends with', and more, you can quickly find what you're looking for. This add-on is lightweight, doesn't require any permissions or transmit data, and works seamlessly with webpages.

Ever seen websites whose drop-down menu has so many things and all in the wrong order that you cannot sift through it?
Or you want to search for a word in the middle of the phrase in the drop-down menu?
This extension allows you to do that easily by first clicking on a drop-down menu, then click on the toolbar icon to activate the search function.
You can filter by any, or all, of the following:
contains
not contains
begins with
ends with
doesn't begin with
doesn't end with
A great feature of this extension is that it doesn't add extra elements or event handlers to the DOM therefore there is minimal interference with the webpage (it won't interfere with libraries like ReactJS). It does need to add 2 attributes to the element to keep track of state.
Also, this extension requests no permissions and doesn't transmit any data elsewhere, allowing you to use it in complete confidence.
Technical Explanation:
If you are a computer talking guy and want to know how this extension works then read on.
Doesn't seem to work anymore. Sometimes it detects the drop-down menus, but on more modern websites they're often not detected. If i'm typing anything in search it doesn't get filtered in the drop-down menu.
