User reviews
I'm switching over to FF from Chromium based browsers. I tried out Opera a few weeks ago and loved their text highlight menu and found this for the other browsers. I'm glad this is here for FF, but it won't let me change the custom tooltip colors. My choices don't save.

Great extension! Suggestion: Add a submenu to customize order of the buttons
