Delayed execution on pageload
Hi,
I'm using foxreplace on a site where it doesn't work on pageload, so I have to
manually press F2 on each page. If your "auto-replace on pageload" option had
the ability to add a delay, I would add 500 milliseconds and that would
probably make it work.
It's not that important, I am fine pressing F2 plenty of times, but of course
an automated solution would be preferable.

Ok, this is easy to do.

So it should be a "timer to apply FoxReplace replacement after the page is
fully loaded", did I get it ?
I've a newbie question, but, maybe the problem is you are replacing the words
when the loading is over. Maybe you should apply the changes before all the
javascript crap go on in the party ? I suppose it's the conflict between the
plugin and the scripts working at the same time that causes the issue, nope ?

The addon and the scripts don't work at the same time, they run in a certain
order, but I don't know which order it is, i.e., if a page has a script bound
to the load event I don't know if that script is executed before or after the
substitutions, and I don't know if the order is the same every time or if it
can vary. But last time I checked, I couldn't force a specific order, so it was
impossible to ensure that the substitutions are applied before the scripts in
the page are executed.

A timer could be a workaround, tho, not beautiful.
...Mhm, could it be possible to "don't replace" the things that are used by
scripts, basically ?

Well, that's an entirely different question. What would be the goal of not
replacing things used by scripts? Anyway I don't know how to detect which
things are or will be used by scripts and which not.

In my case the annoying script is loaded from an <iframe>, so... The sites I'm
watching are terrible, let's kill them all... Mhm.
Thats quite sad, I really love your addon, but it freezes the 1/4 of the sites
I know using scripts :/
