- Rated 1 out of 5by JackD, 5 years agoDidn't work. It said "Yawas cannot store your highlight because you are signed out. Please signin first and then refresh this page" I signed into google, didn't work.. Signed into FF sync, didn't work. I have no other highlighters installed.
FF 69, Ubuntu 16.04
I'll keep it long enough for you to reply just in case it can be made to work. I really hope so.
EDIT: Tried that, made gmail the 1st tab open, didn't help. Couldn't find the .js script you mentioned.

posted 5 years agostrange. could you try opening gmail in a tab, make sure you're signed in, then open a new tab, navigate somewhere and try to highlight something? Alternatively, open the extensions panel, and look for the script background.js of the Yawas: the console might show some error messages. Thanks. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15121230, 5 years agoI do not recommend you to use this extension. It suddenly started to use 50-60% of my CPU. I couldn't do anything until I remove this extension.

posted 5 years agoYou're right, I introduced a bug in version 6.0.16 but fixed it in 7.0.0 as well as made PDF highlighting work with local files. - Rated 1 out of 5by anshulguleria90, 7 years agoNot working. I select text and then right click to choose color. It basically flashes that color and nothing happens.
>> Are you signed in to Google Gmail?
I was. But should that matter? I don't believe that this plugin depends on my login.

In 7.0.0 , you now have the option to store your highlights with Firefox's synchronized storage, so you don't need to login to Google Bookmarks.
