My Reviews

about:addons-memory

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Shows that Firefox and installed add-ons are using far less memory than they actually are.
You'll just have to check memory usage the old fashioned way:
Disable all add-ons & restart Firefox, then open Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) and monitor the memory usage of firefox.exe as you enable your add-ons one-by-one (I recommend restarting Firefox after enabling each add-on, even if the add-on doesn't require a restart).

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (10.1-signed.1-signed). 

Toolbar Buttons

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Has many useful buttons.
There are buttons for clearing data (history) and disabling/enabling cookies and those are incredibly useful for me. I've been wanting those buttons for years.
The cookies button even has three modes: on, no-third-party, and off.
I don't know if it's possible but it would be great to have an additional clear-data button that just clears the data (history) with one click instead of bringing up the confirmation prompt.

Minor gripe: After installing the add-on, I enabled some of my other add-ons and their toolbar buttons were gone. I had to add them back to the toolbar.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1-signed.1-signed).
