- Rated 4 out of 5by deprisonne, 7 years agoI use this Addon to follow updates one Software websites and the massive number of webcomics I read. The menu for the check options could be a bit more accessible. I would really like to have a version for Firefox on Android. I already sync my bookmarks, sadly I cannot check for updates on the items in the Update-Scanner folder.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13585416, 7 years agoI get on and off problems with this potent app. Most recently, it has essentially stopped functioning and I get the message "We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Would you like to proceed to legacy Twitter" when I try to open a scanned Twitter link. And it seems to work intermittently at best regardless of what I have fed into it. I think the problems arise when Firefox is updated.
Please make it a stand-alone downloadable app that can be used with any browser. Please let me contribute to the design of the format and help with the Beta testing and marketing. Thank you If interested please acknowledge on the developer's homepage and I will email my thoughts. - Rated 4 out of 5by harry22, 7 years agoThis extension does an excellent job of ensuring I know about changes to important web sites and full marks to sneakypete for updateing it to be compatible with the newest firefox changes.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13926929, 7 years agoThank you very much for this new version.
Would it be possible on Mac OS (no middle click), when clicking on a website with detected changes, to open the page in a new tab?Developer response
posted 7 years agoMiddle click an item in the sidebar to open it in a new page. Please raise an issue to enable cmd-click behaviour (or whatever the usual MacOS method is) - Rated 4 out of 5by heyu, 7 years agoThis used to be a great FF addon. Now it has a memory leak that drags my computer to a halt. Can't use it anymore. And the delete button has been taken away.
UPDATE:
@SneakyPete Thanks for fixing the memory leak issue.
Any chance you can add a Delete button to the top banner, where the settings icon and "View Changes" drop down are?
Thank you.Developer response

A pity it isn't possible to modify the default interval setting (or couldn't find it) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13682329, 7 years agolooking forward to get updated to Quantum Firefox versions. Hope will be updated soon.

posted 7 years agoScanning individual pages from the sidebar is on the way- see https://github.com/sneakypete81/updatescanner/issues/123 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13465635, 7 years agoавтор постоянно навязывает свое мнение что сканировать чаще чем раз в 5 минут плохо, для моих целей мне необходимо сканировать страницу не реже чем раз в минуту, в старых версиях можно было это выставить вручную, в новой версии такую возможность я найти не могу, вынужден установить старую версию,( этим приложением пользуюсь втечении 5лет ежедневно) если возможность более частого сканирования не будет востановленна я буду вынужден искать альтернативные варианты
the author constantly imposes his opinion that it is bad to scan more than once every 5 minutes, for my purposes I need to scan the page at least once a minute, in old versions it could be manually set, in a new version I can not find such an opportunity, I have to install old version, (I use this app for 5 years every day) if the possibility of more frequent scanning is not restored, I will be forced to search for alternatives
