by Thomas, 8 years agoGood to see a e10s and FX57 proof addon to get rid of those pesky cookies. Only downsides in my eyes:
* doesn't clean LocalStorage (known issue with Firefox).
* it doesn't seem to auto-remove cookies when browsing to a different domain (but only on tab-close, active mode is on).
* all cookies are cleared on browser restart (even though some tabs are still open/active, is it considered a new session?).
I will correct if I made any mistakes.

Developer response
posted 8 years ago1. Mozilla is still working on it
2. It's possible to add that but it might break some sites where people set their delay to 0, so it's safer to do it on tab close (with a delay).
3. Browser Start up cleanup only cleans unused cookies (normal Cookie Cleanup) + GreyList cookies, unless you enabled "Clean Cookies from Open Tabs on StartUp", then it's (normal Cookie Cleanup) + GreyList cookies + Open Tab Cookies.
Come make a new issue on GitHub if you need help.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Cooper, 2 days agoDoesn't seem to work anymore. Doesn't delete cookies not in the whitelist. They just remain even after restarting firefox, despite manually doing with clean button. Can confirm by visiting Privacy Settings > Manage Data.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Skybreaker, 8 days agoThis used to be a great extension, but it no longer works. Cookies from sites that are not on my whitelist are not being deleted. They remain after I restart Firefox and even after manually clicking the “clean” button.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BZ, 3 months agoAbandoned Extension; no updates in over a year and a half. Very hard to sync across devices if you use Container Tabs. Doesn't seem to be compatible with recent Firefox cookie changes; I found dozens of unexpected cookies which were not autodeleted.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12774647, 3 months agoNo longer works, save your time. Unfortunately there is no way to 'Automatically delete unwanted cookies from your closed tabs while keeping the ones you want' as there are no controls or drop down menus available. Extension last updated 2 years ago.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15095017, 4 months agoWhat a dumb interface. You need to make it LOUD & CLEAR what each button does. I just erased all the cookies for all of my website logins ever because the stupid drop-down menu of the "Clean" button decided to wipe out everything and not just the cookies for the site I was on. Stupid. Nowhere in any app/ext/software is something that detrimental so easy to do with the click-of-a-button, for good reason. There was no warning at all. Clearing the cookies for the current site should stand alone as it's the most common function for the average user, period. Not an opinion.

- Rated 5 out of 5by island_in_the_sun, 5 months agoIt's so quiet here ;) No more annoying "click me" screaming Cookie banners. Love it!
I use it with "I still don't care about cookies", so I don't even have to worry being followed on my cookie crumb trail... - Rated 5 out of 5by igorlogius, 5 months ago
