2024-09-18 Cyberknight Amazing extension! It was the only one that could find text on Pages with frames, iframes and other complex structures (following the instructions in the extension, it just needs a click on the area/field where it's supposed to perform the search to work).
2024-06-06 Firefox user 13513062 Unfortunately it does not work. It finds all instances of a word in a form, but does not replace them.
2024-04-20 danbladan This is probably my first review on addons, I don't remember if I did one before. DO NOT USE this garbage, it's broken and instead replacing one character with another it replaces entire paragraphs with others, causing me to lose almost an hour of work; I somehow managed to work around it and save it undo-ing hundreds of times and even now I'm not sure if the article is okay, I guess I have to re-read it again!
2024-04-15 codaroma Works well mostly, except on some websites it mangles the styling of some text input boxes so much that they become almost unusable.
2024-02-09 Firefox user 12810746 Works very good in my Firefox (v.122), working in a MediaWiki envirionment. Problem: Icon does not show in the toolbar. Request: I would like to have the add-in window stay open, this would save a lot of key clicks.

2023-01-27 insevin It doesn't work. If the page said, "the cat is black" then I could type in find "cat" and it would say no results. Utterly useless.
