by cosmicomics, 8 years agoThis add-on is good at deleting ordinary cookies, but, unlike Self-Destructing Cookies, it doesn't offer the option of hiding the window and turning off the noise when cookies are being deleted. It's especially irksome when I'm listening to music while browsing. I would very much appreciate it if you could add this option.
Edit 1
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm referring to the noise that comes with the notifications. I downloaded the add-on yesterday, and the preferences page showed the "welcome" text, but not the settings. Now it does. I haven't checked "Show Notification After Cookie CleanUp," but that hasn't had any effect. I've clicked "SAVE," but there's no indication that anything has been saved.
One last thing: After each setting there's a question mark, but when I click on a question mark nothing happens. I had hoped that clicking would show a short explanation of what the setting does. It would be helpful if it did.
Edit 2
I deleted Firefox and re-added it without the old files, and now I have access to the settings. Everything seems to work as it should. Thanks for your help.

posted 8 years agoDo you mean the notifications because you can disable that in the settings as I said in the addon page.
Edit 1:
I think either your Firefox profile might be broken or there's another extension that's disabling JavaScript on the settings page.

- Rated 1 out of 5by richmoz, a month agoUnfortunately no longer works. Says it deleted cookies but the cookies are still there, very deceiving. GitHub Issues ignored, project dead.
What a shame, this is a much needed extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by 鼎针皮艺, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19506450, 2 months agoThis addon is no longer auto deleting cookies that aren't whitelisted. And it seems a number of cookie managers are now suffering the same issue, WTF Mozilla can't add this as a standard features to FF is beyond me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Saint.77, 3 months agoOne of the essential plugins for anonymity. This allows you to control cookies. Firefox have some protection built in but this gives you much more control with whitelists etc just 2 clicks away if you need it which makes it a must to those that want some level of anonymity while surfing the net.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, 3 months agoReally useful extension for keeping cookies under control without having to think about it. It automatically deletes cookies from closed tabs while keeping the ones you trust. I like that it supports containers and gives you options to keep cookies temporarily or permanently. It helps keep browsing clean and private, and it’s easy to manage with clear settings. Perfect for anyone who wants better privacy and less tracking without constantly clearing cookies manually.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19484692, 4 months agoRecently I've found that all cookies I have are really from the URL (websites) I visit, not with weird names like 000adv.net as before. So, I conclude that this app works well!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Camilo, 4 months agoThis was probably a good extension as of the last update (3 years ago). Now it's abandoned, unmantained, obsolete and maybe even dangerous.
The list of domains has a terrible layout with misplaced scrollbars, very difficult to navigate.
It also requires the following two flags:
* privacy.userContext.enabled
* privacy.userContext.ui.enabled
that I cannot remove in order to disable the useless "container tabs" feature. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13877502, 4 months agoAutocleaning stopped working correctly, cookies are not deleted

- Rated 3 out of 5by Stelioss, 6 months agoDoesn't reliably clean all cookies. With auto cleaning and cleanup on domain change options enabled, i often find non-white listed cookies left behind, long after the 15 seconds time limit and even after restart.
The UI is very convoluted. I appreciate the right-click entry that allows you to whitelist websites while there, but setting up the options of the addon is a mess. Perhaps a novice/expert UI option would help with that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Olivier, 6 months ago
