- Rated 4 out of 5by redstick, 7 years agoThe latest version works fine with Creator and FF53 -- except when I forget to untick "clear cookies" when clearing my history during a session. Then it's time to re-boot Firefox. I have tried several alternatives to WOT, and Disconnect is the best I have found so far. It plays well with uBlockOrigin. A very nice add-on, thanks for the work!
Oh, and don't' forget to run an un-Sandboxied sessions if you want your settings to stick....
I've had considerable problems getting Disconnect to "stick." During a session, the green "dashboard" would be replaced wiht a minimal list that was not responsive. I could re-activate with a "disable/enable" sequence in the add-on manager, but that was really clumsy as well as being subject to random failure again. After some research, I discovered that, when clearing history (which I do a lot; nervous twitch, I guess), THAT was enough to cripple Discovery. Still further trial/error indicates that unticking the "cookies" box fixed my problem. So: short answer: don't mess with the cookies. Who knew? This is a good add-on, and worth the trouble. Thanks!Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12983165, 7 years agoOlder version 3.15.3.1 is stable with Firefox 53.0 and icon displays "D" functionality correctly. Icon reverts to generic green blob and functionality disappears with most current 5.18.21 update (Firefox 53.0, WIndows 7).
