Some cookies not being auto-deleted

[Joel889]

Go to github.com, close tab, cookies remain even after the timer-based cleaning mechanism has run. There are no whitelist/greylist etc settings for that domain. Manually running clean-up gets rid of them.

Do you know when you'll have time to fix this? It's sort of a big problem that directly affects the addon's main functionality.

It's actually fixed in the code already.. the Problem I have right now is that mozilla removed the possibility to release beta versions, so I'll have to extensively test the new code all by myself before releasing a new version (and there are many things to keep in mind).

The past few weeks I was busy getting a new apartment in the city where my new job is and driving back and forth between cities. I finally got one, so I should be able to put some time into it. Hopefully I'll be able to release a new version within the week.

Sorry about the delay.

It appears this is still an issue, but to a much lesser extend. I'm not sure how to reproduce it, but even without having any whitelist, there are a few cookies that did not get deleted automatically even with all tabs closed for a while.

[Lusito]

Is it maybe rather related to #38 (i.e. subdomain cookies)? Or could it be, that the cookies can't be deleted at all (see Bug 1440263)? I.e. does manual cleanup also not remove them?

If not, this is probably still a different issue. I'd need more detailed information about the cookies not being removed.

Download anything from sourceforge [.] net. This particular 3rd party cookie isn't being removed, even though 3rd party auto cleaning is enabled. The cookie disappears when clearing manually through the extension.

Thanks for the example, I will try to reproduce it.
