Why isn’t highlighting working on a page?
Highlighting depends on how much of your selection is a valid indicator and whether the site’s auto-popup is muted, so when nothing happens, work through these checks in order to find which cause applies:1
Check what you highlighted
For a single indicator, the indicator needs to make up most of the highlighted text.
This limits accidental triggers.
For multiple indicators, the auto-popup only appears automatically if Bulk Parsing is enabled.
2
Try the add-on button directly
Select the add-on button in your browser toolbar after highlighting.
It enriches the highlighted text regardless of auto-popup restrictions, so it works even in cases where the auto-popup wouldn’t trigger.
3
Check for a mute exception
If nothing happens even with the button, check whether the site is muted.
Select the add-on button, then check the Unmute menu, or review site exceptions in the add-on settings page.
How do I turn auto-scan on or off?
Use the auto-popup setting in the add-on. These options control how much it triggers:- Mute for 5 minutes: Pauses the auto-popup temporarily, then restores it automatically.
- Mute for this site: Disables the auto-popup on the current domain until you remove the exception.
- Disable the auto-popup: Turns auto-pop off across all sites.
