User reviews

This is a really nice add-on. With the advent of Firefox breaking the search bar, I wonder if the developers could amend this add-on to open the selected page when clicked without a search query. i.e. I used to be able to open Amazon just by clicking on the icon in my search bar. Cannot do that anymore with FF v128 and newer. Would love to be able to click on the Amazon icon in this add-on and the page would open. Is that possible? Thanks

thank you
