| 2023-12-16 | Firefox user 18197697 | | This is a very handy extension. It does what is says it will do. It would be nice if it had a keyboard shortcut to activate it. |

| 2021-10-15 | Firefox user 14601487 | | Disclaimer: This product is great! But I want more. Right now the page loads normally, click the X removes the sticky, click the x again, nothing happens. Preferred behavior would be to have the sticky keep track of websites, once turned on for a given site it stays on until turned off. Coding for turning it off should be as simple as a page refresh. Now if it's impractical to track the state of each site, or sub-site below the main page, then just allow it to be on all the time. Default on, turn off, refresh. Honestly, the large majority of sites I visit I would prefer no stickies. Having to load the site only to click the X gets tiresome. Just let me leave it on until I turn it off. |
| 2021-05-22 | hank | | Erratic behavior -- sometimes it freezes the underlying page so it can't be scrolled. Sometimes it kills the underlying page instead of the sticky annoyance, e.g.: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/22/opinion/friends-holding-hands-touch.html -- See this comment from a year ago, which seems to mention the same issue: "Wish the scrolling functionality could somehow be brought back; it is often disabled by the sticky. When the sticky is killed you can see the page fine, you just can't scroll anymore a lot of times." Try looking at a NYT page --after-- you have exhausted the scant few free reads their paywall allows before it pops up. That's my best guess on how to duplicate the problem. I see the issuse here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/science/astronomy-sun-space-weather.html |
