- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15489605, a year ago- I love this extension. I really love Update Scanner, but, if SneakyPete isn't going to support it, I need something that's still being supported.
- How do I create a simple bookmark file that the system will actually import? It tried making a list of HTML links with before them, and that didn't seem to work.Developer response
posted a year agoHi.
Import bookmarks into Firefox with this tutorial.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-html-file
The file should look like this.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h3>folder name</h3>
<a href="https://example.org">Example</a>
<a href="https://mozilla.org">Mozilla</a>
</body>
</html>
Finally, enter the folder name in the Web Page Scanner settings and import all bookmarks into the scanner. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14086121, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Aruy, 4 years agoEsta extensión es genial. En mi experiencia de uso, cuando todos los intentos por recibir novedades de un sitio vía RSS fallan, ofrece una alternativa para estar informado de cambios en un sitio web. Incluso tiene un selector de campo para ubicar específicamente el sector que nos interesa.
This extension is great. In my experience of use, when all attempts to receive news from a site via RSS fail, offers an alternative to be informed of changes on a website. It even has a field selector to specifically locate the sector that interests us. - Rated 1 out of 5by circcc, 4 years ago'Web pages scanner' UI is better than similar 'SiteDelta Watch'.
But this addon have a big weak point.
I used "Scan a part of the page" option for software update version number check of webpages, but this addon save entire page content regardless of that option, so you can see backup file is so big size. but SiteDelta Watch just save a part of the page, so size is small. I have hundreds of lists for software updates check, then this is a big problem in performance and manage.Developer response
posted 4 years agoPlease see version 2.0.1. I added this feature. You must check "Save only the selected element" option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11736090, 4 years agoI find this extension vital in my job. I work at a large university at a remote location. I scan a number of web pages that include procedures and policies for changes. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, I have been scanning pages that include COVID-19 dashboards and fast changing procedures.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16147215, 4 years agoХорошее дополнение. Нкжно сделать выбор файла при импорте страниц. Так как в UNIX выдаёт ошибку: "Not found a folder called вв. Check that the name is correct. The size of letters is important."
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14735373, 6 years ago这个扩展太赞了,监测网址备份、一键检测重复网站、自动打开标签页,完全契合我的需求!对我而言,比Distill Web Monitor更好用,支持作者!
喜欢这个扩展,尤其是网站备份、一键检测重复网站、自动打开标签页这些功能,但最近使用中发现2个bug:
1、勾选了自动打开标签页,但网页有更新时,经常无法正常地 自动打开标签页;2、手动检查监测内容是否更新时,常常“点击后就没下文了”。
我需要监控的网站有点多,大概80来个,上述2个bug不知道是否与之 有有关系呢?
非常期待作者解决这2个小问题,谢谢!
I like this extension, especially the website backup, one-click detection of duplicate websites, automatic opening of tabs, but recently found 2 bugs:
1. Checked the tab to open automatically, but when the webpage is updated, it often fails. Automatically open the tab page; 2. When manually checking whether the monitoring content is updated, it is often "not clicked after clicking".
I need to monitor a lot of websites, about 80, the above 2 bugs do not know whether it has something to do with it? I am looking forward to the author to solve these two small problems, thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by a3overgaauw, 7 years agoAgain I am able to follow the pages in Firefox in which new add-ons are anounced. I followed the instructions of the developer (see below) and so I am back in line and it feels good. Developer, thank you, 5-stars well-deserved!

I used this excellent page scanner in internal Firefox webpages, concerning Extensions and Themes. Since recently this add-on does not work here anymore. Probably due to intern Firefox matter, it is a pity.
5 months ago I gave this Web pages scanner 5 stars, and that will not change, but I will not use this add-on anymore. - Rated 4 out of 5by SweepsGuyWinner, 7 years agoThis Is Fantastic! This Is Awesome! I'm a Sweeper and I enter over 600 Dailys, but I also need to monitor 1000s of sites for changes to find more sweeps to enter. So far I have tested with approximately 100 sites, waited 24 hours and sure enough-Web pages scanner detected a change on every page. The affect on the browser resources is unnoticable, even though this is Firefox.
-Although, I believe in my extreme use I should expect a hit on resources and performance to Firefox.
Big Plus
-Web pages scanner works with Active Server Pages(asp)
What I would like to see in future releases:
-Sorting
-Adding New items directly to Folders
(complete)-Duplicate detection
-Set Global and Folder Settings as well as Individual Settings
-Run when the browser is idle
(complete)-A Pause option, instead of having to Disable
-Nesting of folders within folders
Looking forward to a 5 Star moment for the future.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe possibility to delete duplicates is available in the new version (1.6.0). I will also try to add some other functions. - Rated 4 out of 5by Gone Postal, 7 years agoMuch-needed replacement for UpdateScanner. Thanks.
Would it be possible in a future release to allow for personalised notification sounds rather than the supplied sound? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13187069, 7 years agoPreviously I used Update Scanner, but that extension was getting old. This one has much better integration in gnome(linux), including native notifications. It's simple and powerful.
The last update lets you turn down, or turn off, notification sounds. Notifications cannot be set to permanent but you can choose to automatically open changes in a new tab. - Rated 4 out of 5by Zitronella, 7 years agoHi, thank you for your extension. I have a suggestion. The notification-sound is to loud! Could you please add that i can mute it or make it quiter or choose another sound.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Smartfon, 7 years agoThanks for this addon. Please consider the following.
1. When I add a Reddit page to monitor list then click to show the new vs old changes, the page's CSS isn't rendered properly. I only see text.
2. When I do this on other websites, the page's CSS is renedered properly and I can see the page normally, but it doesn't highlight only changed parts. All text is yellow.
3. Any chance you could allow us to monitor specific parts/elements of the page?Developer response
posted 7 years ago1. This bug will be fixed in the next version.
2. The script compares the DOM nodes. If, for example, in a paragraph will be changed one letter, the entire paragraph is highlighted. In the future, I would like to improve it, or use a better script that compares.
3. Currently, this function is not planned.
