Not working at all in Firefox 45.0.2 #762

Closed fstirlitz closed 8 years ago

fstirlitz commented 8 years ago

Some time after upgrading to Firefox 45.0.2 (which I believe was the cause), I noticed that Privacy Badger doesn't seem to do anything, despite being enabled. It doesn't detect any trackers on any site or block anything.

Hmm, I am not able to reproduce this problem. If you open up menu -> developer -> browser console do you see any messages from privacy badger? Have you changed any of the default firefox settings? Does privacy badger work in a fresh firefox profile? Do you have any other extensions installed?

That might have actually been a false alarm. I cleared my settings, purged the extension's data, and PB started blocking some things again. On the other hand, there subjectively seem to be so many fewer items on the list of potential trackers. Most notably, Facebook widgets (iframes with src facebook.com/plugins/like.php) stopped being recognised as trackers. While document.cookie may be empty, I'd still rather have them blocked.

But since I can no longer point to an objective, reproducible behaviour, I should probably close this. Oh well, apparently I need a separate extension.
