Thanks for the effort in creating this extension, which function is accessed by clicking on the extension. icon. However, then it takes over 25 seconds to load, and had to do so every time I left the extension, such as going to another tab. It does not open .odt documents from my computer via Firefox, or even from within the program, in which navigation is within an online Linux OS. Thus, no editing. I could not paste text from my Windows clipboard into the OO document. . I have been Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice user for years, thank God, but uninstalled this extension due to not being of use to me.
