| 2024-10-16 | Yaku | | I installed "Restart Browser" expecting a simple, convenient way to restart Firefox with a button click. Unfortunately, the add-on falls short. There is no button added to the Firefox menu, which is the main reason I got it in the first place. The only "button" available is buried in the add-on's options, and when you do find it, it does absolutely nothing! I tried restarting Firefox multiple times and even reinstalled the add-on to see if it would fix the issue, but no luck. Overall, this add-on does not work as advertised, making it completely useless. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere. |

| 2024-01-18 | Windance | | I needed a simple 'button' to 'restart' Firefox. There is a 'real' button, and when you customize your toolbar (right click on toolbars), you can move the button and I put mine on the 'bookmark bar'. But you can leave it on the add-on toolbar and move it where you like it. As others have remarked, for me, no unusual or any 'pages' open to the authors site with option 2 or 3. If you choose an option which will depend on the additional add-on with timer functions, then yes, it opens an offer to buy and install it. I give the author 5 stars. And, depending on which option you choose, it DOES 'restart' the browser remembering which tabs were open a couple of ways. Thank you, Nacho. (PS - There is also a secondary add-on which works with this one. I think it's $3.00 and gives you options to time restarts with other functions.) |
