First, thank you for the great add-on. Unfortunately, I noticed that it doesn't work with certain types of fields. For example, it won't replace text in the "title" field on the Youtube upload page:

test

I tried html and plain text methods, but none of them work. Is there any way to make it to work with this particular field?

I don't know exactly why it isn't replaced, but it looks like it uses some weird HTML. I'll investigate it in more detail when I can.

I found the same.

Have attached an html file which is my admin page for an internet radio station. The problem happens when I try to change the IP address displayed for a listener so to test it you would need my admin rights - therefore you cannot test it.

Perhaps by simply looking at the html I have attached you can see what the problem is. Note that every time I force a manual FoxReplace substitution with shift F9 it is applied for about half a second then the FoxReplace substitution is undone (probably due to the way the html is auto refreshed in the javascript). What worked was replacing innerHTML with XXX although I still have to manually refresh with shift F9 (autoreplacement does not work).

Ok, I'll take a look to it in the future. Currently my top priority is porting FoxReplace to WebExtensions since it will be the only model supported by Firefox in November.
