- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13956300, 5 years agoI am japanese. Sorry broken English.
I have Fire Fox 56.
Older versions can not overwrite new versions.
Can I transfer data from old version to new version?
If you can, please tell me how to transfer the data.Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by The_Blinded, 5 years agoSince I discovered "Distill Web Monitor" I have abandoned this extension after years of use. Thank you.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13926929, 5 years agoThank you very much for this new version.
Would it be possible on Mac OS (no middle click), when clicking on a website with detected changes, to open the page in a new tab?Developer response
posted 5 years agoMiddle click an item in the sidebar to open it in a new page. Please raise an issue to enable cmd-click behaviour (or whatever the usual MacOS method is) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 8976822, 5 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by NatalieMc, 5 years agoI loved this add on. But then in one of the updates, I lost the ability to make my alerts appear for longer than a few seconds, to make them stay until I manually close them, which means I miss alerts all the time. Please, I'm begging you, give me back this feature!

posted 5 years agoThis is a limitation of Firefox, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1417848 - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13864686, 5 years agoImpossible de sélectionner une partie de la page qui doit être surveillée.
A consommé plus de 40 giga de data en 4 heures.
Quand le module est activé, une des instances de firefox a réussi à utilser 50 % de la mémoire (4gb/8gb).Developer response
posted 5 years agoPerformance and RAM usage has been improved in v4.2.1, see https://github.com/sneakypete81/updatescanner/issues/191 - Rated 4 out of 5by heyu, 5 years agoThis used to be a great FF addon. Now it has a memory leak that drags my computer to a halt. Can't use it anymore. And the delete button has been taken away.
UPDATE:
@SneakyPete Thanks for fixing the memory leak issue.
Any chance you can add a Delete button to the top banner, where the settings icon and "View Changes" drop down are?
Thank you.Developer response

- Rated 3 out of 5by BEHA, 5 years agoWorks fine so far with Firefox Quantum (58.0.2) and AddOn version 4.2.0.
The problem:
you cannot delete a page from the UpdateScanner list, when you don't need a page to be longer in this list.
The page settings don't have any delete option :-( - Rated 4 out of 5by Darwin4Ever, 5 years agoStill using 3.3.2
A pity it isn't possible to modify the default interval setting (or couldn't find it) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13725142, 5 years ago* Previous version is better
* It would be more convenient if the ' Scan All Pgae ' button is outside.
* Please correct the error problem of Korean web page.
* Please modify search interval.
30/60 seconds / 120 seconds ... - Rated 3 out of 5by SweepsGuyWinner, 5 years agoThis Is Fantastic! This Is Awesome! I'm a Sweeper and I enter over 600 Dailys, but I also need to monitor 1000s of sites for changes to find more sweeps to enter. So far I have tested with approximately 100 sites, waited 24 hours and sure enough-Update Scanner detected a change on every page. The affect on the browser resources is unnoticable, even though this is Firefox.
I highly recommend this add-on to everyone.
What I would like to see in future releases:
-Sorting
-Adding New items directly to Folders
-Duplicate detection
-Set Global Settingsas well as Individual Settings
***UPDATE***
I am receiving error messages or no textual content at all from
Active Server Pages(asp) when using Update Scanner. Examples include:

OK, I believe in my extreme use I should expect a hit on resources and performance
to Firefox. So I now am requesting additional features:
-Run when the browser is idle
-A Pause option, instead of having to Disable - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13682329, 5 years agolooking forward to get updated to Quantum Firefox versions. Hope will be updated soon.
- Rated 4 out of 5by fredericktham, 5 years agoCant' turn off popup notification in this webex version.
Found out by accident that the keyboard shortcut to toggle the sidebar is Alt-U - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13641104, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13626239, 5 years agoIs there any way to return to the previous platform. I've used your application, if you're the original owner, for years. It is nearly worthless to me now.....but maybe that was the plan. We wouldn't want the sheeple to have effective tools. I apologize if you're the original designer but this new version was a bad move.

posted 5 years agoYou can still use the old addon version if you install Firefox ESR v52. Unfortunately Firefox versions above v56 no longer support old-style addons
