Thanks for the follow up question. Today I reinstalled Yawas, a day later. Now Yawas works on web pages. Probably one of the other numerous extensions I had installed was an issue. IDK. I disabled a bunch of them before reinstalling Yawas. Anyhow is now a partial win. Works on web pages but not PDFs read by Firefox. Thx x2

Firefox 124.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows nothing happens. Neither right clicking the highlighted text nor using the shortcuts. Bummer.

works! the highlights are saved after refresh and not like the other add-on.

But, controls are not fast enough. I have to select the text then right-click then choose the Yawas option then choose the color I want.
If there is a short-cut combination it would be better.

Nevermind, there is shortcuts! `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `G` for green and `Y` for yellow and `R` for red and `B` for blue.

Also, there is a problem when there is too many highlights in a single page.

I was reading some document and highlighting the things I have read and understood and my highlights are over 140 but when I refreshed they got down to 70

Easiest highlighter to use because of shortcuts and context. Great that it auto-saves as searchable bookmarks including highlighted text and added comment.
Would be good to be able to see manual comments on the web page.
Doesn't highlight PDFs -Dev??
Haven't figured out how to download the bookmarks to a text file yet, or the "blue" notes feature.

Using it for the first time and like it so far.Pity you don't propose to change web pages in pdf upstream. If you plan to do it let us know. Thank you. XL

Installs on Firefox and Chrome. Saved to Google Bookmarks: if I use several Google accounts in Firefox and Chrome, this uses the one I signed in GMAIL?? // WHERE IS A PROPER SUPPORT SITE ???

I did not get this working at all in Firefox, although I have signed in Gmail. Perhaps it is because I have installed also these HighLighters?: Diigo and WiredMarker.
Yawas is in my Firefox right-click menu when I select text, and when I select a color the text gets a color for a fraction of a second only and then it remains un-highlighted!

I am not using PDF feature, I disabled it, the problem is at normal websites, like google main page www.google.fi
Diigo and WiredMarker highlighter addons works fine at websites Yawas Firefox does not work at all for me.

Good extension, require some bug fixes, such as it handles all pdf files without your consent, even when you uncheck the "use Yawas to view pdf documents" and clicking "save", it stops temporarily from handling the pdf files, but afterward it starts to handle it again.

I've been using this add-on for a couple of days now and find it great. It does what it says, but there are a couple of things that need to be worked out.

1) Even though the add-on show that the Yawas PDF viewer was off, it actual was used when I view a PDF in Firefox. It was an easy fix. I went the add-ons, click the PDF viewer on, the immediately clicked it back off, and that solved the problem.
2) The issue with number one above would have been okay, except that I needed to save to document to my desktop. When I clicked on the save in the PDF, being viewed in the Yawas PDF viewer, the document was never saved or printed.
3) I suggest a way to be able to change the colors of the highlighter. A few of the colors assigned are really not very useful.

Other than these minor issues, I feel that In can recommend this add-on.
