| 2024-11-16 | Molly S | | I used to use the backspace key to actually go back to the previous page, like all the time and this extension is letting me do that again, and it's made me so happy. Yes, I'm using it for literally only one thing. but that one thing makes me over the moon. |

| 2024-09-21 | Firefox user 12838092 | | 挺好的，可以设置复制标签页的快捷键 |
| 2024-09-11 | Diefdeinf | | No matter what page I go to it says the toolbar icon is greyed out and can't be opened. Useless |
| 2024-09-01 | Firefox user 16457246 | | Unfortunately, when it eats default keybinds, it also hides them from other apps, and that limits its utility (though you can instead use them to trigger another keyboard shortcut, that only works with shortcuts internal to the extension. You can't use it to send keypresses) |

| 2024-08-04 | Hannes Leonhartsberger | | It's a really good add-on which provides shortcut functionality which firefox normally doesn't have. The only criticism I have is that the shortcut input field doesn't ignore whitespace. |
| 2024-07-31 | lee terry | | Sadly it does not disable F11, even if you set it to do nothing when that key is pressed (it must be 1 of the ones it can not change) a list of all the keys it can not change would have been nice (and saved time). Thus the reason my review is 3 stars not 1 and why I will be removing this now (its useless for me if it cant do that). |
| 2024-07-29 | Diogo Eichert | | Works like a charm! Thanks for this! |
| 2024-06-30 | Petersson | | Working great for me on my desktop and my laptop since several years. Only problem I have recently noticed is that it works too well on Reddit. When I try to type in a comment or post something the shortcuts are still active. With every "o" I type I go back to the previous page ;) Is there a possibility to setup exceptions for specific websites? |
