## Description

<strong>Highlight text</strong> is a Firefox add-on that lets you mark, save, and revisit important parts of any webpage. Whether you're researching, studying, or skimming articles, it helps you keep track of what matters most - all while staying private and distraction-free.

<strong>Highlight text allows you to:</strong>
 → Select any sentence or paragraph and apply a visual highlight with one click
 → View all saved highlights in a persistent sidebar for easy review
 → Restore accidentally removed highlights with the undo feature
 → Export your selections as PDF or DOC for notes and reports
 → Works on most websites and PDFs viewed in Firefox
 → Toggle blank highlight text mode for drafting or clean markup

<strong>Smart selection tools:</strong>
→ Select any text and instantly search it on Google with the search icon
→ Double-click a domain to auto-select the full address
→ Open the selected domain in a new tab with the “Go” button
→ Copy any selected text or domain to your clipboard with one click

<strong>This add-on requests only essential permissions:</strong>
<strong>activeTab</strong> – to interact with the current page when highlighting
<strong>storage</strong> – to save your highlights locally
<strong>tabs</strong> – to manage highlights across different pages
<strong>scripting</strong> – to apply visual marks safely

<strong>Further improvements for better User Experience</strong>
We’re enhancing color customization, adding dark mode support, and exploring optional Firefox Sync integration—all while keeping the tool fast, private, and easy to use.
