Review summary

HighlightAll is praised for adding persistent text highlighting that is useful for developers and general browsing, with functionality similar to IDEs and FindbarTweak features. It improves upon native Firefox highlighting and is appreciated for its simplicity and effectiveness. Common issues include loss of highlights on page refresh, limited operation within scripted elements, lack of deeper integration with Firefox findbar features, no predefined keyword highlighting, and occasional interference with certain websites like Teams.

Pros

Adds useful highlighting features similar to IDEs, beneficial for developers and code review.
Persistent highlighting when scrolling, better than native Firefox highlight」「Simple and effective functionality that 'just works'.
Native Mode improves functionality and speed, similar to old FindbarTweak addon.
Select and highlight feature is excellent for quickly identifying instances on a page.

Cons

Does not work inside scripted elements like search bars on Google/Bing.
Page refresh resets all highlights, causing loss of persistent highlights.
Lacks integration with Firefox findbar such as sending highlighted text to findbar and match case option.
Lacks predefined keywords feature for highlighting multiple terms automatically.
Interferes with some websites like Microsoft Teams, blocking access due to security policies.
