ImpulseBlocker doesn't automatically start in a new private browsing session

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Basically just open a new private session and none of the blocked websites are blocked. Another weird note is that the On/Off options for the addon have neither option selected.

On/Off not being selected, and no sites blocked is most likely due to separation between private and non-private browsing.

I could not replicate the part about currently blocked websites are not being blocked in the private session. Using Firefox 63. They are still blocked when I switch to the private mode.

You are definitely right about the on/off options being unselected. This is due to the fact that we can't access the background process of the extension so we cannot get extension status, we cannot get the url, we cannot add or remove sites from the toolbar/popup. The workaround is cumbersome. Until that time I think I should add a warning about it.

You can still control anything from the non-private windows and they are reflected immediately in the private windows.

This should be solved with 1.0.0 release.
