by redstick, 8 years agoThe latest version works fine with Creator and FF53 -- except when I forget to untick "clear cookies" when clearing my history during a session. Then it's time to re-boot Firefox. I have tried several alternatives to WOT, and Disconnect is the best I have found so far. It plays well with uBlockOrigin. A very nice add-on, thanks for the work!
Oh, and don't' forget to run an un-Sandboxied sessions if you want your settings to stick....
I've had considerable problems getting Disconnect to "stick." During a session, the green "dashboard" would be replaced wiht a minimal list that was not responsive. I could re-activate with a "disable/enable" sequence in the add-on manager, but that was really clumsy as well as being subject to random failure again. After some research, I discovered that, when clearing history (which I do a lot; nervous twitch, I guess), THAT was enough to cripple Discovery. Still further trial/error indicates that unticking the "cookies" box fixed my problem. So: short answer: don't mess with the cookies. Who knew? This is a good add-on, and worth the trouble. Thanks!
