Highlights in Firefox (not working)
complete

It seems that highlights in Firefox are not working.
Maybe it's permissions fault. Even if I check tabs permission in extension options it then changes to unchecked and highlight can't be done.
There's "Additional permission required to use Highlights" information when clicking highlights in Raindrop via Bookmark Menu icon, but when I choose "continue' nothing happens.
PS. ALT+SHIFT+H shortcut isn't working too, it's History drop-down menu shortcut.

@{61acf91091aedc6747a0a6dc|full_name}: I just wanted to add that there is still an issue when using the shortcut on my end. It works but it has this annoying banner every first time I highlight with shortcut from browser start.

I still see no update for that bug. It's such a shame, I lose so much time using my right click for highlighting hundred of text every week. I really hope the dev will be able to solve that, the shortcut works for saving pages but not for highlights, it shouldn't be that big. At least I hope !

I found a solution to this bug after about a week of checking possible solutions. Here is the temporary fix for the Raindrop.io Highlights problem in Firefox:
InOn the page you want to use highlthe ight, select some text. Then right-click and select the Raindrop.io icon (Save highlights). You need to repeat it for each page.
P.S:
It is so disappointing that Raindrop.io did not provide any support for solving this problem. I was going to purchase the Raindrop.io pro after seeing the highlight feature. However, my mind is changed after such an unacceptable support.

The same problem, started on the same date! Highlights was working for a while in Firefox. Then it stopped working suddenly yesterday for me as well. I checked the permissions. Uninstalled and installed Raindrop again. However, The highlight badge (panel?) does not show when I select text in pages. How can I solve this issue?

A: I have the same problem now. No idea how to solve it.

Mathis Gauthey: Unfortunately, Raindrop.io did not provide even minimum support. It is so disappointing and I decide to not switch to paid services because of it. I hope it is not one of the money-making tricks. Fortunately, I found a solution for this problem by trial and error:
[SOLUTION]: Select the text, right-click and select "Save highlights".
Hope it helps

A: Me too, that's what preventing me from upgrading at the moment.
I know that, thanks for the input, but applying the Zettelkasten method for notetaking I need to highlight quite some text, which is too long with using right clic. Even after the first highlight I know there's a popup but that's too much clic oriented, keyboard is faster, always. Hope the devs answers
