    Version 1.5.2

    Released 30 Sep 2026 - 605.89 kB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    New
    - More colors. The palette now has 8 colors: purple, black and white join yellow, pink, blue, green and orange.
    - Custom colors. Use the "+" button in the element panel to pick any color. Your last three custom colors stay in the panel so you can reuse them.

    Improvements
    - The cursor changes to a move cursor when you hover an annotation, so you can see it can be selected and dragged.

    Fixes
    - Pressing Backspace inside a text field on the page no longer deletes the selected annotation.
    - When you undo the first move of an arrow or a drawing, it keeps its color and stroke width.
    - Closing Highlite now releases all of its drawing resources and page listeners, so long browsing sessions use less memory.

  • Version 1.5.1

    Released 29 Sep 2026 - 604.08 kB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    New: a tip each time you open Highlite
    When you open Highlite, a short tip now appears above the toolbar. There's a different one each time, so you pick up features you might have missed:
    - Press ? to see every keyboard shortcut
    - Export your annotated page as an image
    - Undo with Ctrl+Z / ⌘Z
    - Hold Shift to draw perfect squares and circles
    - Your annotations save automatically

    Tips stay out of the way. They never cover contextual hints, and you can dismiss them with one click. They're available in all 18 supported languages.

  • Version 1.5.0

    Released 26 Sep 2026 - 599.01 kB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    New
    - No more Select tool. When no tool is active, clicking an annotation selects it so you can move, edit or delete it. Press Esc or V to clear the selection.
    - Just start typing. With a sticky note or text box selected, typing edits its text.
    - Undo "Reset all" in one step. A single Ctrl+Z brings the whole page back, and a message confirms the reset.
    - Dedicated Minimize button at the end of the toolbar.
    - Shorter guided tour: 4 steps, each showing one gesture.

    Fixes
    - Shapes, arrows and strokes stay selectable after undo, redo or a page reload.
    - Undoing a text edit now updates the sticky note or text box.
    - Your chosen color no longer changes when you switch tools.
    - Sticky note text is centered vertically while editing.
    - XL sticky notes are now clearly larger than L.
    - The laser pointer always draws in red.
    - Clicking the extension's own UI no longer clears your selection.
    - Tooltips no longer appear over open menus, and only one shows at a time.
    - If an import file is invalid, the error now says which file to pick.
    - Sign-in failures now show a clear message.

    Accessibility
    - Better contrast (AA level), keyboard navigation and visible focus.
    - The paywall and shortcuts overlay now work as real dialogs: they keep focus and close with Esc.
    - Bigger click targets and clearer labels.

  • Version 1.3.5

    Released 7 Sep 2026 - 599.56 kB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    Sharper toolbar icons: the annotation toolbar is now pixel-aligned, so every tool icon renders crisply instead of slightly blurred.

    Better localized store listing: the extension name and description have been rewritten in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (BR/PT) and Russian so they read naturally and lead with what the tool actually does.

    Improvements
    • The toolbar now remembers whether you left it minimized, instead of
    reopening on every page.
    • Typing in Highlite's own text fields no longer triggers the tool
    keyboard shortcuts.
    • Highlite can now ask you for a review on Firefox — it points at this
    add-on's own page, and it only ever asks once.

    Also in this release
    • Updated dependencies and internal maintenance.
