User Reviews
Pros
- Macro recording and playback to automate clicks and form interactions.
- Saves time on repetitive tasks and form filling.
- Easy to use / user-friendly.
- Fast to set up and typically works quickly after installation.
Cons
- Throttle / page repeats too quickly causing macros to stop or not run automatically.
- No dedicated run/execute button makes manual testing and triggering difficult.
- Limited editing capabilities: hard to modify or reorder macro steps after recording.
- URL matching is too strict: no wildcards and no easy way to ignore query strings or vary URL patterns.
Recent reviews
Worked for my simple test of clicking a designated button on a form page where the URL changes but always starts with the same beginning.
This worked because the use case allowed me to use the start of a URL, but note that you can't use any other parts of the URL as keys. It would be nice if you could match URL's "like" or use wildcards, etc, to specify what pages to apply the macros to.
Also needs the ability to only run manually. I created a macro to click the submit button, essentially, because it's far down on the page and I'm often at the top when I'm ready to submit. So having it run automatically doesn't work, and currently the only option (which is nice if you want it) is to wait a specified delay.
So I can't complain about it working, I just want a little more out of the extension.

worked the first attempt. there,s no enryption for password fields. no way to edit macro lines.

I guess this extension works by remembering the element on which we clicked, or scrolled.
But what I was expecting was it to record WHERE I clicked or scroll, i.e. the POSITION.
It's therefore not that useful for automating things.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the "failed while executing a macro; required element not found" error is then not good to have
EDIT: it does work, but once you've refreshed the page, you get the mentioned error

Is SiteMacro Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
SiteMacro does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
SiteMacro has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
