posted 7 years agoThank you for the kind words!
1) The Add-On wipes every cookie (without any filtering), and every other of the browser's storage backends you select in the Add-On's configuration (Extras > Add-Ons).
2) The philosophy is "the user knows best when...", thus the button. Doing it every x minutes could end a login session you are currently using, etc. But the feature may make sense for some usage scenarios, so thank you.
3) No, it doesn't. FF's cookies semantics remain the same. The button is only a shorthand for going into about:preferences#privacy - with a few helpers for other FF data stores.
That also answers your second 1): Try a login on some page, click the button and you're logged out - as all session data stored in cookies will be gone. As it sounds, your specific Add-On (i) - an Add-On is not a web app/page - seems to store data in it's FF config area (check about:config). This data is not wiped, as it belongs to an Add-On that you installed. The button wipes (normal) web originated data.
