Enhancement suggestion: whitelist pages from replacing only on load #140

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hi, I'd like to suggest an enhancement in the address whitelisting feature, so 
that it could exclude from replacing on page load, but if clicked on FoxReplace 
icon, it could work. Currently, if a page address is whitelisted, the replacing 
function doesn't work unless the page link is removed from the list. 
In my case, I have some pages that I don't want to replace on page load so that 
it doesn't freeze Firefox, but sometimes I want to replace the page text using 
my substitution list, but this is  not possible, because it's whitelisted.

I don't know if there's a way to do that, but it would be very good.

Hi, you're suggesting this to avoid Firefox freezing. There is another feature 
suggestion, issue 130, which instead of a whitelisting proposes an option to 
limit auto-replacement depending on page size to also avoid freezing. Would 
that option be suitable for your case?

Yeah, it could be, but only on pages that are long, not the heavy ones. E.g., 
YouTube, Outlook etc. are not long pages, but heavy. In this case the page 
length wouldn't work, and a auto replace on load whitelisting would be the best.

Ok, then I'll accept the suggestion but with low priority for now.
