    It works, but not all pages. For some reason, it ignores some text areas, and won't work in them.

    The ext is fire, simple, quick and reliable. But you can also see that the creator did not worry about removing chrome instructions on the Firefox version, the "useful tips" section is mostly chrome features. Also the type "ate and hit tab" does not work on Firefox. Almost seems like the app was copied, pasted and forgotten.

    UPDATE the app has not been updated since the user created their profile, which was 2 years ago.

    Hi Pete - is it possible to port over the latest code from carlinyuen ? It might help with some of the text fields that are built by JS. This is in the latest README: "Added support for React-powered input fields"
    Mainly I'm having trouble with Jira ticket inputs.

    A decent port, but is missing some important details. %clip% doesn't work, and support link leads to the Chrome store

    Does not work well with all websites. would like to contact developer to figure out why. Otherwise, it works as it should!
