At least this should be done for the linux/unix/OS X/*BSD ...etc.. versions of FF

It is conflict to FindBar Tweak and can't be used. Hope This bugs can be fixed and thanks for the quickly reply.

complement: I also find a new problem that the plugin doesn't work on infinite scrolling web page such like Quora. 

Looks great and very useful, but doesn't recognise ".*" for "any character between zero and infinite times" Rated 4 out of 5 stars

by Hal on June 8, 2015 · permalink · translate

I'd really like to use this extension, but I can't figure out how to formulate the regex token for "any character between zero and infinite times". Help appreciated.


I might add that Edit -> Find stopped working after I installed this add-on

and Cntrl-F also stopped working after I added this add-on.

Please remove this add-on from the add-ons repository. It is busted.
