2020-11-19	Zeeshan Ali Qureshi	Good addon but it opens new Jabref windows for each new citation when click on addon icon on Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon. In Jabref "Listen to remote operation on port" is also enabled/checked.
2020-10-23	Firefox user 16384463	Doesn't work in Ubuntu 20.04 with JabRef 5.1 and Firefox 81.XX. I tried everything, but always get: "jabref browser extension attempt to postmessage on disconnected port". Browser-console: Failed to execute command "/opt/jabref/lib/jabrefHost.py" NativeMessaging.jsm:113. Although the file is there and is executable, I copied "org.jabref.jabref.json" in native-messaging-hosts as explaind, but it doesn't work.
2020-08-19	Molly	so far, awesome. I couldn't get it to show on my search bar(?) for maximum convenience, but the menu and alt+shift+j works and it exports so conveniently! If I can acquire a paid postdoc position, i will at least buy you a cup of coffee...
2020-05-04	Firefox user 14328529	Was going to review that extension 1 star because it had worked only once on an arXiv page. However, I was missing the .json and noticed it on posting the rating. Sorry for being such a bad user. Isn't there a way to warn that the extension isn't completely installed? How comes that it has worked once? I'm putting 4 stars for now, but if everything keeps running smoothly, definitely going to increase this despite the weird story ;-) . I see that there are other reviews that are most likely in the same conditions. Thank you for the work! [Ubuntu, Firefox 75, JabRef 5.0]
2020-04-21	tryme	Hi ! I'd really like to put a five star for this nice work, but I'm stuck with the extension telling me it has been sent to Jabref, and Jabref opening a tab with no data inside. So I don't know why the bib file is empty … [Firefox 75.0 / Ubuntu 19.10 / Jabref 5.0 via snap]
