I hope a developer creates a Firefox version of the following extension.

Search Terms Finder
http://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai ... plnademcne

It is similar to the search feature for Googlebar Lite.

People who had their extensions ported / or who have no need for old extensions are lucky. They can and should make use of the great Quantum project. Firefox will only get better as time goes on, I hope they take on Chrome more significantly, we would all benefit if they do.

Many of my extensions were not ported and will not get ported or have an equivalent ever made.
Case in point:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... 4.1-signed

No Millennial nowadays would ever need that extension or use it, but I have a single physical Windows Favorites folder I updated since Windows 95, which contains more than just bookmarks.
That one single physical folder is being used by *every* browser and even every Operating System on my multi-boot machine, thanks to that add-on. No syncing necessary for any multi-boot machine.
Direct access from Firefox.

I did not and cannot jump to Fx Quantum because of modification limitations. I plan on giving up security and speed to see how many years I can use Firefox ESR without updating it after mid 2018.
