You waited for a new release with a load of helpful new features? Here it comes. It’s my personal goal to make everything that has to do with everyday use of cookies a lot easier. I was always a bit annoyed of how all kind of new features get into Firefox 3, but when you look at the cookie exception dialog, it has the old, moldering look from 2003. Not only that it looked old, the usability was bad. You wanted to find a website to delete it? You had to go through the whole list manually, searching for all appearances of one site, sometimes starting with “www.” or other subdomains.
This is why i now added a search function into the dialog. You also can now double-click on any of the rows to get the host into the textbox on the top. This is useful if you want to add a subdomain of an existing entry in the list or just remove the “www.” before the hostname.
Since there’s a brand new firefox version coming June 17th with new shiny icons, i also added some more modern styled cookie icons to my extension.
Hello Session Fix users, long time no see! But i have good news for you. Soon they will release the first Release Candidate of Firefox 3 and it has mucho new features including an option that lets you save your session, when you close your browser. This means Session Fix becomes needless for Firefox >= 3, which makes me happy and a little sad, too. The Mozilla Addons site counted over 55.000 downloads and about 10.000 users daily concerning my extension. You can see all statistics on the statistics dashboard of Session Fix.
I hadn’t made a post for the 0.8 version of Extended Cookie Manager. So, here it is. Then i can proudly present a French translation for the extension. Let’s all thank Egan for it. Thanks, Egan.
New in 0.8:
- Firefox 2.0 compatibility
New in 0.8.1
- New translation: French (fr)

I’m so sorry, i totally forgot to update a file named chrome manifest. Which means all new translations couldn’t be used at all. I just fixed it and added a new translation in Thai by Lancaster. There were some encoding problems with some other translation, but they are fixed now. There are still some translations that need to be fixed, so if you like to contribute, feel free to email me or post them as comment on this site.
I just uploaded a new version of Session Fix on mozilla addon site. It includes two new translations (Swedish and Finnish) and brings a new wanted feature: save session when there’s only one tab open. To use this new feature just check the box in the new preference dialog of Session Fix. You can find it by clicking on the extension in addons-manager and pressing the button “Preferences”.
But i also need YOUR help. There is one little sentence in this dialog i had to translate into various languages. Most of them i’m not fluent in. So if you have a moment just look into the dialog, double check my translation and let me know if anything is wrong. There are also some languages which i’m not able to translate into at all. So if you a native speaker of one of them, help me by translating this sentence from English to it. You can drop your translation right into this blog post as a comment. And… if you like to get credits for it don’t forget to write your name down too.
Languages that need some translation: Japanese, Lithuanian, Russian, Slovak, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified)
The Sentence is: “Always warn when closing Firefox”
P.S.: The addon needs to be verified. So please be patient, because it can take a while before you can download it from addons.mozilla.org.
New in 0.3.0:
- New translations: Swedish (sv-SE) and Finnish (fi-FI)
- New option to always warn when closing firefox (Preference Dialog)
- Better behaviour when more than one firefox window is open
Easier cookie managment for Firefox.
Extended Cookie Manager detects if a website sends a cookie and shows if this cookie was blocked, allowed or only allowed for session in the statusbar of your browser. It also enables you to change the cookie permissions of websites on demand.
Extended Cookie Manager is a much easier and less bothering way to handle cookies than letting Firefox ask you everytime to allow a cookie or not.
Languages: English, Dutch, German
What’s new in 0.7:
- New Icons
- New Feature: Always display icon in the statusbar
- New Feature: Block/Allow other subdomains (experimental)
- Bug fixed: Memory leak (Thanks to Robert Hofmann)
- Bug fixed: Exceptions Dialog doesn’t close on MacOSX
- Some minor fixes
