User reviews
Pros
- Can generate QR codes directly from the address bar, opening a new tab with the QR code.
- Able to decode QR codes seen on web pages successfully, even when other plugins fail.
- Provides notifications with decoded QR code content promptly after scanning.
- Supports right-click context menu options to decode and generate QR codes for quick access.
- Enables computer users to scan QR codes easily without needing a mobile device.
Cons
- Copying the generated QR code to the clipboard does not work as expected, failing to copy.
- Decoded QR code content is only shown via notifications, making it difficult to interact with, such as opening URLs or copying text.
- Some users find it cumbersome to manually click the add-on before choosing decode or generate functions.
- Limited interactivity with scanned QR code results, lacking direct actions like open or copy.

Hi, thanks for the add-on. There seems to be a problem, however: copying the QR code to the clipboard doesn't work. To reproduce:
1. Enter "qr test" (no quotes) in the address bar - a new tab with a generated QR code is opened.
2. Click on "Copy to Clipboard". Notice that the QR code isn't copied to the clipboard.
QR Code version: 1.2023.722.0, Firefox version: 131.0.3 (64-bit), and I have "dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem" set to "true" in about:config.

USELESS as a reader, it scans, but the result is given as a notification, thus I cannot open an url nor copy/paste the text
