- Rated 5 out of 5by Myster, 2 years agoWorks as intended, wonder why this add-on doesn't get more visibility.
I sometimes have the feeling that, after adding a new "unsafe" keyword, pre-existing history entries do not get cleared out.
Anyway, thanks for the great work ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5612562, 2 years agoGreat addon though for some reason its settings got reset for me recently. But I was able to restore them from a backup of my Firefox profile. I recommend backing up the settings once you have everything set up.
Edit: sometimes items won't be deleted even though they should. Not sure why.
Edit(2): I wish there was a way to similarly clean the files cookies.sqlite(-wal/-shm), permissions.sqlite, content-prefs.sqlite, since they can also document the sites/pages you visit. Currently I'm managing this by using a batch file that replaces those files with an early copy of those files (that only include the specific sites I'd like to keep the data of) - Rated 5 out of 5by YL, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Erdin, Eray, 5 years agoWorks as intended. I use this for web development. I do not want "localhost" to be in my history.

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheDirtyDog, 7 years agoExcellent. Just. Excellent. No more trouble with my history. But would it be possible to make it retro active, meaning that the supression would be effective for websites already visited ?
Thank you once again - Rated 4 out of 5by joefiesta, 7 years agothis is very nice, but it has a way to go before it is great.
Problems
1. go to http://www.dictionary.com/e/s/ough/#ough
when you migrate to the next "screen" (with a left or right arrow the way that site is designed), DH adds a second [DH] header to the URL. And then a third, fourth, etc.
2. The boxes for the entry of website names need to made much wide. (Yes, the text "overflows" to the next line, but that is messy looking at best).
3. The stuff about "always clear" domain filter is sketchy. First, "always clear" is not to be found. Secondly, it does not appear to delete entries from the past when I activate a new filter. To have it clean up the history at the start would be great. - Rated 5 out of 5by HannesH, 7 years agoGreat addon - but it would be nice if we could disable the notification window telling us that the url will be deleted - it's a little bit annoying if you open multiple links that would be blocked in a short time
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11842536, 7 years agoThis is great but every time I start firefox it opens the addon settings page for this addon! It's annoying.
Also I can't make it work to match moz-extension:// pages, both "[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}-([a-zA-Z0-9]{4}-){3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{12}\/" and "moz-extension:\/\/" don't work to delete addon pages from my history. Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you add "firefox" into the "Dangerous keywords" section, it will delete pages that have the word "firefox" on the page itself, it won't check the URL.
Also, can you elaborate more on the search/form history? Do you mean preventing Firefox from autofilling on those pages? Or remove the search autocomplete history?
If you want it to delete pages that have "firefox" in the URL, then do the following steps:
1. Add the following into the "Dangerous domains" section (remove the quotes): ".*firefox.*"
2. Check off the "Regex dangerous domains" checkbox.
If you are still running into problems, please provide an example page if possible. It will help me find and fix the bug faster!
Also, can you elaborate more on the search/form history cleaning? Do you mean you want the extension to prevent Firefox from autofilling on those pages? Or do you mean that you want the search autocomplete to be deleted as well?- Rated 5 out of 5by Enismirdal, 7 years agoI love that the addon defaults to an easy to use domain-based option, but is so simply switched to use regexes. I had been looking for a method to whitelist based both on domain and keyword within URL, and this fits the bill perfectly.
Simply set something all-encompassing for the blacklist, whitelist everything presumed worthwhile, and suddenly, tidy history.
If only it also handled age-based expiration too, I'd be using one history addon rather than a pair - but I understand that's well outside the scope.
That said, calling them "Safe" and "Dangerous" domains and keywords seems like a silly phrasing... though it may be appropriate for what I assume is the average use case. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ac, 7 years agoBrilliant. I use it to exclude some "garbage" URLs like login pages etc from the history, and it works like a charm.
