User Reviews

Most users report that the Maps with what3words Firefox add-on is unreliable and largely non-functional across several Firefox versions, particularly failing to integrate properly with Google Maps and Bing Maps. Users experience limited interface options, restricted to selecting a language without actionable buttons. Additionally, the add-on requests broad permissions, causing privacy concerns that led to its removal by some users. While it works well in Chrome, its Firefox support is deficient, making it frustrating for users seeking consistent what3words functionality within the Firefox browser.
Pros
  • Works perfectly in Chrome browser.
  • Recognizes the use of the add-on via address bar input in Firefox.
  • Interface is clean and curated (from an unrelated review).
Cons
  • Add-on is often non-functional or unreliable in multiple Firefox versions (e.g., 88.0, 90.0, 95.0.2, 99.0.1).
  • Does not work properly with Google Maps or Bing Maps integration; cannot search or display what3words addresses consistently.
  • Requires excessive permissions, raising privacy concerns.
  • Only language selection is available in the add-on interface, lacking buttons or functionalities expected by users.
  • Fails to find saved what3words addresses or multiple locations, often locating only the PC's home address.
