- Rated 5 out of 5by Darkmaster006, 19 days agoAn excellent add-on, amazing! Lately, for some reason, it seems it doesn't work when you open images in firefox from a computer directory, any ideas? Thank you. EDIT: Fixed with the answer, thanks!
Developer response
posted 19 days agoIt's a new security feature in Firefox 153, you now need to give file URL access to the extension to continue searching with local images opened in a tab.
Please go to about:addons, click on Search by Image to open the extension's details and visit the "Permissions and data" tab to find the optional permission. The relevant permission is "Access local files on your computer", which is poorly named in my opinion, and will surely confuse and alarm users.
The same permission is named "Allow access to file URLs" in Chrome, which is much less vague and alarming.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, 2 months agoGreat extension for anyone who frequently needs to check image uniqueness or find original sources. A huge plus for being able to customize the list of search engines (Google, Yandex, TinEye, etc.) and search either via a single engine or all of them at once. Works flawlessly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19958549, 2 months agoVery BAD. — Tried to use 1 image with "all search engines". — It opens all kind of tabs, I thought it would be centralized. — And some sites being Asians, they're searching for Asian things that are absoutely OUT OF SUBJECT to my research… — Also uses Firefox notifications for everything, whereas they take time to disappear (not intuitive at all).
