    only thing that would make it better is IF you leave the page you where on it destroyed that cookie even if you where using the same tab

    Say I go to gamespot, then ign then gametrailers all in one tab, those cookies stay even if you left them already, (this way there deleted upon exit of browser)

    If you opened the pages up in separate tabs then closed them they would be deleted. when tab is closed.

    Not that maters it does what needs to which delete no whitelisted cookies on exit, or upon tabs closed

    Ah I see, yea they don't get removed until that tab is closed even if you go to different sites on the same tab

    Maybe contact the addon dev and request that feature

    For now i rather Mozilla fix the hanging FF does when one using Clear Firefox on exit settings. that people are complianing about mozillazine forums.

    Would be nice if Adblock plus devs would fix the freeze in FF when Adblock 2.6 first loads upon startup too, both are know about

    FXOpera looks sweet :D

    Anyone know how to stop FF from showing a bar asking me to allow Flash? Palemoon doesn't do that so it's getting annoying here :p

    Here you go mate:

    Firefox >>> Tools >>> Add-Ons >>> Plugins (purple LEGO icon) >>>
    on the list of Plugins find: Shockwave Flash ...and change from: Ask to Activate ...to: Always Activate

    edit:
    It should be: Always Activate ...by default

    edit #2:
    there is more options about plugin control in about:config menu, but try above first and if that doesn't help then I'll send you another solution

    FXOpera does look sweet and works with FF28 even though it says it doesn't

    Install it anyway, it will fail > go to appearance settings and press enable > restart FF

    yeah I got that one too in the end, looked the best and no gui bugs :nerd:



    hm idk about flash, it works ok here, maybe double check its config with something like Configuration Mania

    I should clarify that I use ask to activate :O It's just that palemoon doesn't bother me with the infobar at all and I click the element to activate flash. Instead it shows a puzzle piece near the url. Maybe they have changed something since Firefox 24 (ESR)?

    Here is a pair of screenshots to show what I'm seeing.

    Palemoon 24.5 (based on Firefox ESR 24.5, great browser btw :p )

    (psssst, call me crazy, but edit out the blank space in the middle, no one will know)

    What I personally am finding irritating now (other than the stupid bookmark button adding an extra click) is i'm sure I used to have the back/forward button at the very left of my buttons, now it's part of the URL bar.

    Of course, as with any UI changes, I can never quite remember how exactly it was before, and i'm always left with the niggling thought that it's still a bit wrong. Yet again I wish they (mozilla and more) would warn of incoming UI chamges.

    What's happened to FireFox? Latest version looks exactly like Chrome which I hate.


    Lucky I use Waterfox though...lol

    I tried Cyberfox the other day I might switch to that seeing it darker layout and makes, I wont have use dark theme with it cyberfox.


    I dont like Way chrome lookes and now FF like just like it. Which perfeclty fine with, Delete history and cache etc on exit is easy in FF in Chrome it royal pain in the ass. and the reason why i never stayed with Chrome.

    Long as Mozilla dont take start doing what chrome does as far as the above goes i dont care.

    Though I like the idea of built in flash chrome does?
