changes in "Options" Tab are not applied #110

TrackMeNot Version 0.10.2 Firefox 55.0.3 (64-Bit) WIndows 10

First: I can only remove search engine entries one by one, i have to close and reopen the "Options" Tab to see my changes. But when i then close Firefox and reopen it, everything is in initial mode, so again all search engine entries show up.

Second: When i check the "Generate queries including keywords monitored by DHS" and then press "Apply" close and reopen the "Options" Tab it is not checked anymore.

The "Generate queries including keywords monitored by DHS" does not remain checked for me either.

I'll start looking at this. @DidierLmn Do you also have the same with respect to search engine deletion?

Thank you for reporting.

Thanks for the follow-up @vtoubiana . I hadn't try that yet, but have done so now.

I'm able to remove multiple search-engines at once, however the changes also don't appear until I reopen the 'options' tab, and quitting Firefox and restarting also reverts the changes with me as well.

About the DHS-option, I've tried to find the issue, but I'm not that familiar with Firefox Add-ons and haven't been able to find the issue.

However I can tell you it isn't in option-script.js on line 215 (function saveOptions()) the options variable that gets returned there gets the right value.

But if I then look at the localstorage, the value is still false, so maybe there's something wrong with the function that writes to local-storage?
