- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16761517, 5 years agoIt works pretty well with my Firefox Quantum 69.0.3 (64-bit) even with Google Docs, and generally I'm satisfied. However, there's one huge issue - I cannot reset / remove any data this extension stores. I have imported a quite large JSON library, and now I need to replace it with another one. Import/Export button does not help with removing old data. Removing Firefox cookies & site data does not help either. Removing and reinstalling the extension does not work. Seems like the only way to do this is to manually hit 'trash' button near each of the 700 entries in the library which is not efficient. I cannot use this extension due to this issue any more. For other people to prevent this I would recommend saving empty or almost empty data set as a local backup and use this backup to reset extension. My backup file is huge as well so it won't work for me at this point.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zeno Davatz, 6 years agoThank you. This just works, both on Firefox and on Chrome. Nice. Would be great, if I could sync my accounts via my Gdrive.
- Rated 2 out of 5by beastbeauty, 6 years agoThis is a sorely needed add-on. The first time I installed it, every short form produced multiple expansions. It is hard to know why. I am turning this off for now.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Santiago, 6 years agoReally helpful extension. The %clip% feature does not work on Firefox though :(
- Rated 4 out of 5by Alex R, 6 years agoReally great! Would love to be able to customize text expansion on a per-site basis (even just disabling it completely would be helpful). Thank you

- Rated 4 out of 5by roman76aut, 6 years agoI love this add-on and use it in chrome a lot. In FF I would love to use it as well but one main feature with C&P with the %clip% is not working and was commeted 6 month ago.
I use Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and FF 71 - Rated 5 out of 5by Scott, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tim, 7 years agoMy favorite browser plug-in. It has become so essential, I can't use a browser that doesn't support it now. You can do some creative things with it to speed your workflow. If you do use multiple browsers, as I do, it's just one simple copy and paste to move all your shortcuts to a new browser. I highly recommend this plug-in to everyone.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13385641, 7 years agoI've been using this extension for helping me learn German. The language uses vowels with umlauts that are laborious to type using normal tools. With this extension, I set up shortcuts to add umlauted letters with just two key stores, saving me a lot of time typing.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15264798, 7 years agoHi Pete - is it possible to port over the latest code from carlinyuen ? It might help with some of the text fields that are built by JS. This is in the latest README: "Added support for React-powered input fields"
Mainly I'm having trouble with Jira ticket inputs. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15109362, 7 years agoA decent port, but is missing some important details. %clip% doesn't work, and support link leads to the Chrome store
