User reviews

Diigo Web Collector has been a powerful and widely used Firefox add-on for web annotation and bookmarking, praised for its core functionality and clean design. However, multiple users report that it has stopped working on Firefox in recent updates, leading to broken features and unusability. Sign-in and account creation issues persist, and developer support is described as unresponsive. Despite these problems, users appreciate its annotation capabilities and minimalist approach, but many are considering switching to alternatives due to the unresolved issues.

I don't like to leave bad review, but diigo seems to have stopped working for me. Highlighting stopped working on firefox with errors in the console. Errors when i try to sign in, no response to support queries. Ah. it's a shame, i've been a customer for a long while.
