Note that an update to make Mark My Search much faster and more consistent is underway, and will be released in a future version.

  - I am looking into ways of preventing future mistakes like this from slipping through the cracks.

Version 1.13.2
Released 14 Mar 2023 - 127.31 kB
Works with firefox 48.0 and later
This is a minor update addressing several issues, that was released early due to identification of a broken significant feature (scroll markers). Patches will be released quickly in case of problems. Note that Mark My Search is pending a background rewrite, since in very rare cases it is inconsistent.
- Change default highlighting shortcut to Alt+M from Alt+Shift+M
- Revert to more reliable keyword-match-count method; more consistent methods to be looked into
- Enhance internal extension pages, particularly the popup, for improved ease of use
  - As part of this, remove 'follow links' setting as it could have little realistic use; highlighting is now always carried into new tabs
- Correctly insert scroll markers specific to the highlighting algorithm used
- Slightly improve injection speed; more to be investigated as in some cases Mark My Search will wait indefinitely while a page tries to complete its initial load
- Improve highlighting method
- Always collapse toolbar when activated by a keyword list automatically
- Do not expose internal highlighting elements when using particular method
- Add default support for Baidu and Yandex; easier search engine configuration and automatic query-param updates coming soon!

Version 1.12.3
Released 16 Feb 2023 - 126.72 kB
Works with firefox 48.0 and later
This is a multi-part minor update addressing a number of usability flaws and some smaller issues. Note that Mark My Search is pending a background rewrite, since in very rare cases it is inconsistent.
- v1.12 was released with keyword lists not showing up in the popup. This has now been fixed. Sorry about that!
- Do not retain old keywords when reviving via keyword list
- Fix deactivating "Keywords stored" in popup
- Do not return focus to page when tabbing from keyword input after opening match-options
- Replace 'auto overwriting' with 'refresh terms'
  - Remove capacity for the extension to auto-replace keywords when searching
  - Remove confusing 'pin' button used to inhibit this behaviour
  - Add optional 'refresh' button to prompt keyword replacement as appropriate
- Allow persistently hiding toolbar with optional button and associated settings
- Add new highlighting engine
  - Allow activating the experimental PAINT model, as opposed to CLASSIC, which does not cause any page breakage or permanent slowdown
  - Allow switching between 2 highlighting methods within PAINT, one of which differs from its Chromium equivalent due to API incompatibilities
  - All PAINT methods are experimental, so it is disabled by default
  - Note that although PAINT makes a marked improvement over other search highlighters, it is and will always be limited in crucial ways; do not expect it to work for all use cases, although in almost all situations it is faster, less disruptive, or even the only viable option
- Make various enhancements
- Improve workflow and structure for maintainability
