Add-on summary
Stopped working? Some users reported Textmarker stopped working after a Firefox update. Unforntunately neither do we know yet what is causing the issue nor can we reproduce it. For some users it helped to uninstall Textmarker, restart FF, re-install Textmarker - and eventually restart FF again. But other users had to refresh the whole FF profile. If you need to backup your Textmarker data before the uninstall -> here you find how to do that: https://github.com/ufb/Textmarker/issues/84#issuecomment-557044749
Backup your data Please save a backup of your highlights and settings occasionally (you can do so on Textmarker's "Export & Import" page). In the rare case you lost your data due to re-installation just import your backup file
Bug reports, problems, suggestions or feature requests via e-mail at [email protected] or on https://github.com/ufb/Textmarker/issues Feature requests in reviews (especially ones that lower the average rating) will be ignored.
