Is there a highlighter add-on that can show a color highlight on a selected word or sentence within email and pdf?

Windows 10, Firefox 58.0.1 (64-bit), Shockwave Flash 28.0 r0. I have tested all of the highlighter add-ons currently available for Firefox 58.0.1 (64-bit), and none showed a color highlight on the selected text. I used to use the Prostetnic Highlighter add-on, but it does not work in Firefox 58. All I need in a highlighter is for it to place any color highlight on selected text or numbers, one-line in length, temporarily, within email (Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Gmail), pdf, eBay and other websites. Suggestions welcome.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

However, many add-ons are not compatible with the current Firefox.
