I have an add on installed on a different machine that changes the FR posting page to add a bunch of functions (like the options when replying to a post or article here on FR).
At any rate, if anyone here knows where I can get ahold of the add-on I'm looking for, I'd appreciate the info.
While searching for the add-on I came across this: Stop It Grandpa by Colin Brennan.

Be careful of browser add-ons. Know who wrote them and if they can be trusted.
A browser add-on could be spying on your your browsing. Just sayin’
lifesitenews and rebelnews.ca and steynonline.com will be offended that they weren’t included.
I know the addon you are talking about and I use it all the time as it’s the only reason I still put up with Firefox as they “update” it every 14 days and always break something useful with their “improved” codes. It’s invaluable as it allows immediate coding of images, URL’s plus italic’s, bold, etc. It also does the same for BB forums.
However, I’m on my iPad now and away from the PC with the addon. I’ll get back with you later on today.
This is probably what you are looking for:
Free Republic Posting Form Enhancer

I must be missing something, because it sounds like you have this add on you are looking for on another computer you own. You can't look there? Or are you looking for some other add on? Very confusing post, that says zilch about the add on you are looking for. Talk about providing minimal information to work with, this is that in spades. 😋
Free Republic Posting Form Enhancer
Can vouch for that. I have used it for years and can't live without it now.

pls explain...
Yeah, that’s it. I had to dig through that thread as the link in the article no longer works.

I don’t have immediate access to the other machine (until tomorrow), so I thought I would ask here. Someone upthread pointed me in the proper direction, so they understood what I was asking about.
I was looking for the FR posting enhancer and found that other one I mentioned (stop it grandpa). I thought it was interesting that someone went through the trouble to be that subversive.
At any rate, I got pointed in the right direction.

But I was still missing the fact that you didn't currently have access to your other computer, and your impatience prevented you from waiting until tomorrow to get it.
But I'm happy for you. You got the instant gratification you were seeking & apparently needed. 🙂
Yeah, I was being lazy and impatient, busted.
s’ok
Don’t know about lazy, but definitely impatient.
mostly because by the time tomorrow rolls around it’s another thing I’d have to remember to deal with, and it might just get pushed to the bottom of my list and forgotten.
I’ll accept that, because I’m old & forgetful, but it doesn’t matter to me if I do forget and it get pushed to the bottom. It will rise again soon or later. 🙂
Are they any worse than the browser itself?
Not just in politics, but in many topics, I type in the correct spelling of a health term, or an IT term or a consumer product.
The browser changes the correct spelling to some other spelling totally unrelated to what I typed in. Sometimes the browser mentions that results are for something different than what I looked for. Sometimes the browser doesn’t mention it.
This seems to be true of Firefox, Google, Edge. But I haven’t wasted my time documenting it.
Some changes are obviously to products who paid for plaement. But many times they are to what is best described as
CONFIRMTION BIAS.
AI makes this worse. AI is trained on confirmation bias data and exponentially doubles down on the confirmaton bias. AI only knows what it is told.... just like the rest of us.
Also Word Count for checking excerpt length while posting articles:

Counts words and characters in selected text.
