HistoryBlock

This tool will allow the user to specify a list of hosts to be blocked from the history tab, the recently closed tabs list, and the download manager (ctrl+j).

HistoryBlock has been converted to WebExtension from the legacy XPCOM and completely rewritten using the new APIs. This should make feature releases more frequent moving forward.

Additionally, there are some new (and long-awaited) features to discuss:

1. New options page replaces the old clunky dialog.
2. Encryption method option - SHA1 (default and compliant with the previous version) and None (meaning plaintext blacklist items)
3. Matching method option - Domain (default and compliant with the previous version), Subdomain, and Full URL
4. Improved context menu (right-click) items - Block and Unblock

Some add-ons ask for permission to perform certain functions (example: a tab management add-on will ask permission to access your browser’s tab system).

Since you’re in control of your Firefox, the choice to grant or deny these requests is yours. Accepting permissions does not inherently compromise your browser’s performance or security, but in some rare cases risk may be involved.
