I use(d) Self Destructing Cookies, but the page for that one says it's not being rewritten as a webextension and will be abandoned: https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/ "This add-on is no longer maintained. It is incompatible with Firefox 55+ and this will never change. Also, it will not be rewritten as a WebExtension." https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/ seems to be a new webextension along the same lines, I don't know how good / safe it is or whether it does what you wanted from Cookie Monster. > NoSquint Plus > > Last update yesterday but no mention of WE plans on AMO page > but Zoom Page WE is possible replacement. I use this one too, it's useful for sites that don't play well with hidpi, though those are becoming less common now. I imagine it may be important for older / vision-impaired users, though. > Tab Groups > > Author has stated (in a long rant) that he is not going to port > to WE and that in any case the APIs will probably always be too > limited for it to be possible. As this was previously a Firefox feature and the excuse when removing it was "don't worry, it'll be available as an extension" this seems like a rather important one! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
