by Firefox user 16564086, 4 years agoAddon is very leaky. RAM usage went from 1gb to 6gb after 15m use.

posted 4 years agoThe add-on only executes when clicking the button, so can't leak memory when sitting idle.
If you think it's leaking when executing on a particular site, send me through that site and I'll take a look. But all it does is traverse the DOM, and I doubt any website has multiple GB of elements that would account for the usage you're mentioning.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18197697, a year agoThis is a very handy extension. It does what is says it will do. It would be nice if it had a keyboard shortcut to activate it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14601487, 3 years agoDisclaimer: This product is great! But I want more.
Right now the page loads normally, click the X removes the sticky, click the x again, nothing happens.
Preferred behavior would be to have the sticky keep track of websites, once turned on for a given site it stays on until turned off. Coding for turning it off should be as simple as a page refresh.
Now if it's impractical to track the state of each site, or sub-site below the main page, then just allow it to be on all the time. Default on, turn off, refresh. Honestly, the large majority of sites I visit I would prefer no stickies. Having to load the site only to click the X gets tiresome. Just let me leave it on until I turn it off. - Rated 3 out of 5by hank, 4 years agoErratic behavior -- sometimes it freezes the underlying page so it can't be scrolled.
Sometimes it kills the underlying page instead of the sticky annoyance, e.g.:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/22/opinion/friends-holding-hands-touch.html -- See this comment from a year ago, which seems to mention the same issue: "Wish the scrolling functionality could somehow be brought back; it is often disabled by the sticky. When the sticky is killed you can see the page fine, you just can't scroll anymore a lot of times."
Try looking at a NYT page --after-- you have exhausted the scant few free reads their paywall allows before it pops up. That's my best guess on how to duplicate the problem. I see the issuse here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/science/astronomy-sun-space-weather.html - Rated 5 out of 5by ..., 4 years agohello dev, i've over click the x button and now most of my favorite site remove all the sticky stuff. how to revert back or undo this process? i don't want to reset my browser to factory. urgent help needed please. thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by robokopfer, 4 years agoThis is the best add-on ever, and a must-have. Could you add an option that would kill all stickies by default everywhere, without having to click the X button?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Frederator, 5 years agoStops floating/sticky videos with a simple click while not affecting the rest of the webpage. I tried multiple add-ons and none of them worked to fix the annoyance until Kill Sticky. Recommend.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Odin2, 5 years agoThis add-on kills the annoying sticky pop-ups that seem lately to constantly encumber webpages. Unfortunately, the pop-up will reappear next time the page is accessed. The add-on is certainly better than nothing, but considering its limitations it could be made hugely more useful with a keyboard shortcut, which Mozilla has apparently facilitated. Since I can't reach the developer directly, I'm hoping he or she will read this and take the suggestion.
UPDATE: The developer promptly added a hotkey per my suggestion. Now worth 5 stars.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks! That's a good idea! The latest update includes a keyboard shortcut, which is defaulted to Ctrl+Shift+F. You can change that in settings if you want. - Rated 5 out of 5by Adam S., 6 years agoSeems to function exactly like the bookmarklet, via an X button you can reposition like any other.
Useful for getting rid of annoying hovers, title bars that follow you everywhere, social media badge lists, and so on. Things that get in the way of reading articles.
It also works on Firefox for Android, via an entry that appears at the bottom of the '...' menu. (It may be worth mentioning this compatibility in the description.) - Rated 5 out of 5by GraemeL, 6 years agoKills the annoying stickies without having to go through the bookmarks menu to find the bookmarklet to do it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14159132, 6 years agoПотрясающий аддон, позволяющий очищать веб-страницы от вездесущей висячей дряни! Раньше постоянно приходилось муторно и долго удалять её другими средствами, а Kill Sticky позволяет нажать одну кнопку - и всё, весь экран заполнен полезной информацией! Я в восторге! Почему так мало пользователей!?
