- Rated 1 out of 5by MetalgodZ, 8 years agoInstalled after seeing a friend's positive experiences with it, and did a little testing to see what it could save. As far as saving money goes, it works quite well for several popular sites.
Immediately after installing, however, the performance of the browser slowed to a crawl. Changing tabs took forever, loading tabs took twice as long, and anything relying on a plugin (Flash, Java, other) would hang the browser and the entire computer for as long as 5 minutes. I tried closing tabs (I usually run with two windows and 120+ tabs open), but this had no effect. I'm running Mac OS, so I pulled open a terminal and ran top, sorted for CPU and RAM, and found nothing increased from prior to the install. I then cleared all temp files, disabled all plugins (Honey, Noscript, Self Destructing Cookes, uBlock Origin, and Tab Counter), and then enabled them all one at a time, leaving Honey for last.
Enabling Honey reduced the performance of the browser immediately to a crawl, and disabling it immediately restored the performance.
Between the privacy implications of the plugin (http://www.novatexsolutions.com/blog/v/honey-is-watching-you/) and the performance issues, I will be at least leaving the plugin disabled except while checking out. If I continue to have performance issues, I'll just uninstall it entirely. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13002555, 8 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by ahero4heor, 8 years agoRead the title, it says it all! Wonderful when it works, but it doesn't at the moment
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12555391, 8 years agoIt comes up in the process of making a purchase. I run it - and it pops up again when I move to the next screen in the purchase process. I don't think it has ever credited me actual points, and although it does show some points, it is less than a dollar. Hardly worth the effort. I can find codes on my own.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Keyslapper, 8 years agoStopped working. After the FF 52 update on Fedora, FF started taking several minutes to start up and always reported some script failure. I couldn't track it down then, but when I finally disabled Honey (this was the only one I disabled) everything started moving smooth and snappy again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by rootkr, 8 years agoThis add-on did save me a few dollars, but at the expense of slowing the browser down to a crawl. I could not figure out why everything was slow in Firefox, even thought it was my internet. (Hardly this at 85 Mbps Up/Down) I then thought to uninstall the add-on as I had recently installed it and boom! Firefox was back to its speedy ways. Stay far away if you enjoy not growing old waiting on pages to load.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12685121, 8 years agoI dont even care if it works, as it appears most or all positive reviews for it are completely not authentic & obvious about it. Wish Mozilla would remove addons like this that violate tons of rules & is generally unethical, evil & scammy. :/
- Rated 1 out of 5by maxresist, 8 years agoHoney worked for awhile and then stopped working entirely. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. When it worked it was a great tool to have but, at this point I'm a bit disappointed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12799087, 8 years agoThis worked for a few weeks. Then suddenly the icon never did anything but show a grey H in my toolbar. It stopped working at all sotres, and wasn't even responsive to clicks. I uninstalled, reinstalled, turned off all other extensions, deleted my entire cache and all cookies. Nothing. Don't waste your time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Maria, 8 years agoI don't get it, it's suppose to give me a discount and it went up $6?!
- Rated 1 out of 5by rivver, 8 years agoI wish I could give it a zero or better yet a negative number.
This add on will rip you off!
Don't believe it? Add a product to your Amazon cart WITHOUT Honey enabled/installed;
Then enable/install Honey;
pull up your Amazon cart again and the product will be at a HIGHER price!
I found this by accident but I'm glad I did. My product I had in my cart was $50.99 with Amazon prime before Honey, BUT was $57.00 AFTER I installed Honey!
I really wish I could add the screenshots to show non-believers but have not found out how to do that.
>>Mozilla, please block the add-on Honey from these crooks!!!<< - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12732267, 8 years agoHasn't found me a discount even once. Useless, unless you wanted to slow down your browser for some reason
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12489934, 8 years agoYour add-on doesn't work in the newest version of Firefox because in the write up it is written for Firefox 48 and later and not version 46. Firefox views it as a corrupt add-on because of this and will not install. Can't use.
