Where does Lightbeam store its data ? #727

Closed uihdff closed 6 years ago

uihdff commented 6 years ago

Running Firefox 56.0.2 and Lightbeam 2.0.4.

Where does Lightbeam store its data that ?

Firefox is configured to delete all history when the browser exits. When the browser restarts, the tracking data Lightbeam displays is still there.

Is Lightbeam data stored as LSOs ?

jonathanKingston commented 6 years ago

The data is stored in IndexedDb in the extension which makes it be treated like browser preferences and internal data, we have a manual delete button for users who want to clear it.

As a feature request, it would be useful to have an option for Lightbeam's data to be deleted when the browser is closed.
