2024-10-16 Krzysztof Kessler Does not work outside internal texting playground. It replaces the text in text field while typing but as soon as you hit "send" or "enter" it changes back to the short phrase before the change
2024-02-22 Abigail Gus EXACTLY what I needed; Firefox not having this extension built in is kind of bonkers, especially after all this time, but this extension saved my sanity.
2024-01-12 Firefox user 17566498 Great concept, but has a lot of bugs.
2023-12-19 Firefox user 18203091 This appears to be working quite well. Since it requires using the space bar to expand, it would be great if it didn't enter the space as quite a lot of webforms won't allow that space in the field.
2023-09-06 Alex Pedruzzi The program is good but it doesn't work in some places like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc...
2023-07-01 Allen An essential, though flawed, workaround to a longstanding Firefox bug. The fact that Firefox doesn't honor MacOS text replacements has been on Mozilla's bug list for 8+ years. Doubt they'll ever fix it. This plugin does the same thing. Unfortunately, Apple won't let you even cut/paste existing Text Replacements, much less export them, so you'll have to re-enter them manually. The one nontrivial flaw is that it insists on inserting newlines after it makes the substitution, even if you didn't type a newline. If the original text was followed by a space, the substitution should be followed by a space. Doesn't seem to work that way.

2023-04-21 Julian I love this add-on, which I use in macOS. I copied my text replacement shortcuts, converted them into a JSON file, and imported them into TextFast. Now they all work on FF. This add-on could be improved if the shortcut expanded with punctuation such as period, comma, colon, semi-colon, and not just a space. Thank you for your work, Matheus.
2023-04-04 restless_rat Doesn't work.
2023-02-22 Burretploof It does what it's supposed to overall, but when it replaces text with an emoji, it adds a line break after it, even if the macro is just the emoji.
