Features & Capabilities

Text Fragment lets you link directly to a precise passage in a web page using the #:~:text URL fragment. It enables auto-scrolling to the selected text and creates shareable links that jump to the exact passage, without annotating the page.

Notes for different platforms: Firefox for Android uses the extension icon, while Firefox 131+ may switch to the browser's native scroll-to-text-fragment by default. The extension is open source and bug reports can be filed on GitHub. See the WICG spec and the GitHub issues page for more details.

User Reviews

Text Fragment is praised for a simple, fast, and reliable text-fragment linking experience with a clean UI and good defaults. It works well on mobile and across platforms, and the developer is active. Pros include ease of use, cross-platform stability, and thoughtful defaults. Noted downsides are clipboard copy issues, occasional glitches with scrolling/highlighting, and some OS-specific limitations.

Pros

Simple, clean UI with fast, reliable text-fragment linking that just works.
Works well across devices, including mobile, with solid cross-platform support.
Good defaults and safety features, such as 'Disable when natively supported' enabled by default.
Active development and responsive support from the author.

Cons

Clipboard copying can fail or copy the wrong text on some setups.
Occasional reliability glitches, including not scrolling to the target and brief/disappearing highlights.
Some users report OS-specific issues (e.g., Linux) limiting functionality.

Recent reviews

Doesn't recognise headings or existing elements. Not even when there are unique element IDs on the page that could have been used. Instead of linking to an existing element like a subheading, list, etc it just creates a new link to specific words. I would rather it linked by element type eg h2[3] for the third h2 heading or let you easily pick a full heading rather than fiddle to get an few words highlighted.

Is Text Fragment 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.

Text Fragment requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Text Fragment is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
