by badsax, 7 years agoIf it was possible to give this update ZERO starts... that's what it would get.
A perfectly useful extension that was updated without my consent to a completely useless extension.
Every time I start Firefox I get to be reminded that this extension exists and now is terrible... great... it doesn't seem to remember any of my previously blocked sites, it doesn't seem to block sites that you add to it. When you add a site, it no longer accepts all wildcards " * " and will not accept sites that end in " .whatever " if it's not a dot com or something standard, forget being able to add it...
It seems if I go back to a previous version, I can downgrade it back to 'useful' but I guess I have to do that every time I start Firefox.
So disappointing. If someone knows another extension that will currently do what this one used to do, please let us all know!
