My Reviews

CookieSafe - Control cookie permissions

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Buggy, buggy, buggy. New version on sourceforge: also buggy.

Controle de Scripts

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

beware, this addon makes permanent changes to your browser's behavior, even if you uninstall it!

if you change some of the settings, the addon doesn't offer any way to go back to the defaults. the changes are made to hidden preferences in your about:config, and those changes stay permanently, even if you uninstall the addon. there is no list anywhere of which preferences are changed, making it very difficult to manually set things back to the way they were, using about:config.

if you install this addon, make sure you write down all the settings before you change any of them, because there's no going back!!

Session Cookie Nuke

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Version 0.3 seems to work as advertised, no longer wipes out all your important persistent cookies :)

Since the release notes mention me personally, I would like to add the following information, since I can't seem to contact the developer any other way:

I did in fact take the time to send a very detailed bug report by e-mail, using my private address, several days before posting the review, but received no reply. It would be nice if he checked his spam folder before accusing me of lying.

The previous one-star review was due to the addon destroying important data of mine, which was annoying and took a good deal of time to reconstruct. I felt it proper to post a warning to others about it, since the developer did not answer the e-mail.

I don't think that I was "using it wrong" or failing to read the instructions properly. The addon claims to "nuke session cookies", so I did not think it was necessary to whitelist non-session (persistent) cookies.

The developer doesn't seem to realize that Firefox already has a built-in whitelisting (exception) capability normally used by people like him who run their browsers "in a mode where all cookies are treated as session cookies" i.e., set to keep until "I close Firefox". The extra whitelisting functionality in the addon seems to me unecessary and complicated.

By the way, my address on this mozilla account has always been "real", but was out of date, I've updated it now.

Would give five stars except for confusing whitelisting functionality, and slightly annoying attitude from the developer :-) However, I do appreciate the work and effort, and am thankful to have this useful addon.

Session Cookie Nuke

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Warning! As of version 0.2.1, this addon will delete *all* your cookies, not just temporary (session) cookies - that's what happened to me anyway. If you have exceptions set to "allow" for some sites to set permanent cookies, they'll be nuked too, regardless. Probably not what you want...

I sent an e-mail to the developer, hopefully he'll fix it...

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.1).
