forget-about-this-site's Issues

Reloading tab not always working

Shortcut not working

The shortcut Ctrl-shift-X is not working.

Os: Linux manjaro + gnome
browser: Vivaldi 5.0.2497.51 stable

Can't pin the extention to Toolbar.

The option to pin is grayed out on my Linux Mint firefox.

[REQ] Microsoft Edge (Chrome Based) Support

Was hoping this would work easily since Edge is now basically Chrome, alas, it does not work for me, doesn't actually seem to do anything.
Shows up, but when using shortcut key or button, no prompt, no nothing.

Update broke the extension

I have firefox 78 esr(custom profile) and nigthly (stock profile) on windows and the recent update does not delete anything when the ''close tab'' AND ''close all tabs with same domains'' are both checked

if only one of them is checked, the module works, if none are checked the module works too. I had no problem with the previous version of the module.

Feature Request: Delete site also from favorites

Addressing this issue: https://www.technipages.com/firefox-clear-address-bar-url-history, I guess your addon could be the perfect solution, except it doesn't removes the site from users favorites.

You might add this in a future release? 🥺

Delete data on a timestamp

Another feature I think could be used is adding a timestamp. For example, every 10 minutes (but option of the user) delete the selected data.

doesnt work on this website: https://accrescent.app

doesnt work on this website: https://accrescent.app

can a confirmation be added BEFORE deletion?

the user can accidentally click on the icon instead of bookmark icon.

can a confirmation be added BEFORE deleteion?

Refresh the website once cleared

I think it should have the feature of refreshing the website or all tabs you are on (using this as an option)

Forgetting about other subdomains?

Thanks for this extension. Clean, simple and effective. Love it!

Perhaps this is intended behavior, but I just used the extension while on www.buybuybaby.com (🙄🤷‍♂). That site sets cookies for www.buybuybaby.com, buybuybaby.com and offers.buybuybaby.com. The extension successfully nuked everything from www.buybuybaby.com and buybuybaby.com, but left the cookies for offers.buybuybaby.com.

It might not be desirable to always forget about other subdomains, but it would be nice to have the option to completely forget about an entire domain.

Thanks again!

Installation failure on Firefox 59

I get a Download failed. Please check your connection. message displayed on the extension page. ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/forget-about-this-site/ ) Other extensions install just fine on the same instance.

This is with Firefox 59.0.2 (32-bit) on GNU/Linux. (No problem with 65.0.1 -- the latter is a binary from Mozilla though, while the former is an outdated Debian package...)

Toolbar vs. Page actions

Any particular reason why this adds a button to the toolbar, rather than an entry in the "Page actions" menu? The latter would be much more appropriate for this type of extension I'd say...
