Three, if you want to count uMatrix. I got used to white-list pages before I used uMatrix.
Both the whitelist addon and remove cookies for site are just intefaces to do things Firefox already handles.

I used to use Cookie Monster and NoScript instead of Self-Destructing Cookies and NoScript Suite Lite, but after years of using them, I just got tired of having to tweak every little thing. It's a lot easier this way and covers mostly the same ground anyway.

Tab Tree is basically a better behaving Tree Style Tabs, but unfortunately you can't yet collapse trees.

Manually as in open up the .xml? And it's disabled for fucks sakes

Also disabled. I don't know which about:config entries to toggle and neither do you.

Again, disabled. It does much more than spoofing the UA. I keep it there in case it ever updates.

If you don't know shit, keep your mouth shut.
>>
>>51955100
If disabled ones don't count then why the fuck do you have them installed for at all?
Also why are you using some unsigned version of uBlock Origin when it's been signed + fully reviewed on AMO for months?

Linux? If so update your ff, the newest version uses ffmpeg instead of gstreamer, which is a lot better in a number of cases.
>>
>>51955945
nope, w10. Strangely the option for ffmpeg is default on for 43.0, even though to my understanding it hasn't been implemented for windows yet.

Oh, "old search" is an option. Thanks anon.

Still, you really shouldn't have to use an add-on to change that functionality back. Especially when there is already a built in option.
>>
>>51956729
>Still, you really shouldn't have to use an add-on to change that functionality back
I agree, but there are already a billion other things one needs Classic Theme Restorer for so this one thing doesn't make a difference. Just more value out of CTR…

>Especially when there is already a built in option.
But it isn't built in… Not any longer.

Are Adblock and a robust hosts file redundant? Is there any point to having both?
