- Rated 3 out of 5by Ʒmzêanndjë, 2 days agoNeed checkbox start with, end with, keep case sizing, and to take in consideration of lang="?" of html page pro list. Adding new term in end of list is painful and could be reversed, also sorting list would be could, and a checkbox to set a replace as important or not, to made them first.

- Rated 5 out of 5by fox, 4 months agoFoxReplace rocks. Been using it for about 11 years. People online grow dumber and more aggravating every year but this add-on keeps their crap off the screen, easily and reliably.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11609870, 7 months agoSimple clear and easy to use so far. Search and replace text, it does what is says. Haven't done extensive testing to see if there are any issues as others have reported, but has been pretty solid for me.

posted 7 months agoOK, I have a added a short privacy policy to explain that nothing is collected. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16255010, 8 months agoSo far so good. I managed to make it work from options, but no thanks to the explanations of the author, which are non-existent, and the interface is also not intuitive. There is still a thing or two that I don't get, but I don't need it for now. For example the auto/auto-manual/manual stuff (I've put "auto" and it seems to work for what I want, but not clear what the other options do). Also the HTML output only/input&output; I have no clue what it means. Finally, the URLs to be typed. What does that do? Also right click and paste works only if you start typing something in a blued field, delete that and then paste.
A short (and good) explanation would be necessary. - Rated 5 out of 5by iG0R, 9 months ago

edit:
The extension seems to disable itself anytime I restart Firefox. Is there any way to fix this? - Rated 4 out of 5by SonicAnatidae, 10 months agoThis is a very simple application. It mostly does what I needed. To simply replace every instance of WORD with OTHERWORD, while viewing/reading web pages. Well done.
Suggestions for future updates.
1. Allow more than 1 word to be replaced, although, this may be possible already, and I'm simply ignorant of the ability/syntax (ie. comma separated, etc)
2. When I toggle Reader mode, the app does not replace the text within the web page. Having the same functionality in reader mode, would be useful and a common use case, I believe.
Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by One, 10 months ago

Now I can read pages in English, as opposed to the Universal State of Ambiguity that's rapidly replacing it!
Unfortunately, it's messing-up script-related (js) content.
Eg, Changing text/formatting colours, preventing js-related images, videos, etc. from rendering.
Finding more wrong with it as time goes by. It's becoming more annoying than the cause of the problems I installed it to remedy.
We could also do with the option to exclude specific domains.
Some clear and concise usage instruction would also be a welcomed addition.
Once the developer has finished the plug-in and fixed all the outstanding faults, I will compile a downloadable list to enable automatic US-American to English translation.
Due to the above issues, I have downgraded it to 3 until further improvements are made.

posted a year agoYou can exclude domains if you add an hyphen before the URL in the group. E.g. if you add the URL "-example.com", then the domain "example.com" will be excluded. - Rated 4 out of 5by Alexander A., a year agoGreat add-on!
I wish there was an application of substitutions on page change. The number of websites that don't reload pages is growing (YouTube, Amazon, etc.), so it's becoming a nuisance.
Also, dark theme would be highly appreciated.
