- Rated 5 out of 5by Faculty Row Spam, 8 years agoIt really works for the purpose it is made for, Thank you!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sn3ipen, 8 years agoThis extension is superb when i am typing English, but i wish it would support Norwegian Bokmål. It would have made it useful for me half of the time.
It also didn't work when writing this review. Says "This site is not supported".Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for your review. We have to rely on the community when it comes to adding new languages. Unfortunately, adding support for a new language is more complicated than adding a list of words, which limits the number of people willing to work on this.
About this website (addons.mozilla.org) not working - it's a hard restriction by Firefox. As far as I know, no add-on that requires access to the HTML page will work on addons.mozilla.org. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13252386, 8 years ago

posted 8 years agoWe have now clarified the privacy policy: storing data is *extremely* rare. Even then, only the single sentence that caused an issue is stored. And even then, we don't store an IP address. Storing data in these rare cases is the only way for us to fix very rare bugs, as users just don't report bugs most of the time.- Rated 5 out of 5by miguel, 8 years agoEsta extensión debería venir por defecto con Firefox. Excelente.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ohfeelya, 8 years agoFor grammar junkies like me ( seeing/hearing a grammatical error has the same effect as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.), this is the ultimate Godsend. I sincerely can't say enough thanks. This snappy app also removes my ego-centered issue/phobia of accidentally sending out my writings with grammar sewage within because I somehow missed one (or more - eegads!). This is a sanity saving tool I want on my browser forever and a day. Outstanding job, dev!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13151756, 8 years agoДуже корисний додаток. Допомагає часто відшукати ті помилки, котрі втомленими очима вже не помічаєш.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13138372, 8 years agoKeeps my big fingers from sending out something that looks like a three year old wrote it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by reverendkengertner, 8 years agoIt does what it says it will do, and that's what's important.

posted 8 years agoBy default, yes. The description of the add-on explains this, but it got somehow removed. I've added it again. - Rated 4 out of 5by foxbrush, 8 years agoLooks a pretty good add-on. However, not working on FF developer 52.0a2 (2016-12-19) (64-bit). Nonetheless could see the LT button on the upper-right bar, nothing but a blank panel appears when clicking the LT button....

posted 8 years ago1.0.10 has just been released and should fix the most prominent issue. Saving the preferences still does not work. Update 2017-04-15: everything should work fine now again with version 1.0.13 - Rated 5 out of 5by demonicpancake, 8 years agoGreat! If you don't like sending your data to a third party network you can use this add on with a locally hosted instance on your computer or on a private network.
I simply run language tool from the command line like this:
languagetool --http --allow-origin "*"
default port is 8081 but you can specify another one by adding this : --port 666
then in the add on preferences simply change the LanguageTool API Server URL to:
http://localhost:8081/v2/
