Addon waiting for fixes.. For a better firefox

Ps: i am not moving from firefox v44.0.2, the only version of firefox
that supports all of my actual addons. I won't dump decades of addon works
& if i have 30 or 40 addons, they wont all be recoded for firefox 57..
until 30 years pass..

I'm looking for firefox & tb contributors to try to create or fix
some addons i'm missing, if possible, I included a link at the end of that list
containing mod versions which are among others, some of the addons that already
contain fixes & i'd like to be reviewed & definitely fixed:


For firefox:

fixes if possible:

No other addon of its kind beats its purpose but the author's working on a google version & sadly abandoned
its development, proposing to anybody who wants to keep the project alive
in one of his sites to feel free to continue the development.

Updates i'd like:

1) In autofill2 Options / other stuff: A function i can check, so each time i open autofill "options window" by right click/autofill options or add..
each time i in fact try to access options window, i get a password box before, so that window is accessible by password
only if i checked the function in "options/other stuff". It allows me to keep
data i filled, hidden from anyone who'd try to access it.

2) Please fix the rule editor that is imperfect, for all fields:
If i select "contains", before & after my string, make autofill add this: ^.*?mystring.*?$
If i select "beginwith", before & after my string, make autofill add this: ^mystring.*?$
If i select "endswith", before & after my string, make autofill add this: ^.*?mystring$
If i select "equals", before & after my string, make autofill add this: ^mystring$
(the actual regular expressions generated through the editor are false)

3) A bug:
If i delete a profile in autofill options/form fields, the profile's content/value is saved in the default "unfiled" profile.
I have to purge & delete that profile's content each time i delete another profile. This shouldn't happen.

4) For example, go to
https://fetlife.com/signup

-enter data

-in the section "where are you located", i would love that
autofill2 "Recursively" waits untill "state/province" selection
box "opens", then adds the chosen selection, then waits for
"City" & adds the data, until it detects that no new selection
box opens, then continues filling "Email address" etc .. .

Note that the "enable autofill delay" option doesn't help for that..
I'd like to have this in any site that has drop down boxes that open others .. .

5) A plus, in Hi5 site, when i click on message on a page,
a message pop-up based on a script appears, then my text is loaded by autofill,
but if i return to the main page & look at another profile & click on "message",
the pop-up window will detect it & open an empty box with the profiles name/pic,
but autofill will not reload text, because: the message popup window was still
opened and the url didn't change .. . & if i close and open it over & over,
it slows down the process. Try to make autofill2 detect scripts
that load other ids in the background..

not needing to reopen hi5 message popup window, and make autofill detect
when a new profile with message box is loaded on the message popup window,
so autofill reloads text .. .

Or apply the fix for any website that has that scripting method .. .

In fact: the webmaster makes pages load/being replaced (without modifying the page url in a url bar), it's done through scripts..
& autofill doesn't detect it actually .. .

6) move the autofill delay from "options/other stuff" to "options/field type", this allows selective website delay chosen by the user
who can enter the desired seconds, to prevent websites that don't need it to be accessed more instantly.

7) javascript support .. . addons like fillform have it, but they don't support rules, that's why they're useless.
so many boxes are bypassed on websites, because they're javascript based..

8 ) auto disabled on firefox offline mode..

9) In options/Form fields, a new type: Close (i don't need to enter any data like
in the field type "button", & in Value to Autofill, it can show "Ctrl+W", That new
"Close" Type, will close the tab after submission, or the window if it's the only
tab .. . but the control must be "ctrl+w" & not firefox or window closing.. cause
window closing would close all tabs..

10) if possible an add-on bar icon attached on this email too with a pop-up (autofill disabled) / autofill enabled)

2. Issues with "precise clear history" addon & "privacy plus" addon.

If i open the clear history and select "after a specific date" I will see 1 date & 1 hour box (2 boxes).
Now if i reopen clear history.. i can see the same boxes multiplied by 4...

1 Issue: using "precise clear history 1.3.1", if i add the privacy plus addon,
it disables the "between specific dates" option (added by p.c.h 1.3.1) .. .
that appears on the "clear data" "clear history" window.

& proposals:

A function would be great under the time range to clear:

"Every"
(it's an automatism) (box to check)

& under Every, in a white rectangular frame, i add the number i want for:

[ ] Hours


for exemple: 12

if this is left like that & the clear data window including the specific
parts i want to clear are checked, & i close the clear data window .. .

after 12h, the checked parts i wanted to be auto deleted will be deleted
without intervention, continuously, every 12h..


& one more thing:

for some reason, my firefox saves data here, maybe because i use the addon opendownload & all open files are managed by windows & not firefox anymore but it leaves temp files in the hd:

"C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Local\Temp"
My browser:
C:\Users\1\AppData\Local\Temp

but the "cache" section of the data clearing window, even selected, doesn't delete
anything from that folder above.. so if you could add that path too for the cache
deletion to privacy plus, it would be great.

or maybe with a script "greasemonkey" or another addon..


---------------------

3. The author of an addon hasn't been able to find a way of password protect firefox's bookmark folders,
nevertheless, sites & folder's site's can be encrypted & password protected .. . But i still need to name
those sites to remember what they are before accessing them, so giving access to that folder to anyone who
uses my pc indoors would show site names that can be accessed differently. My aim is to have the folders
in bookmarks password protected, i don't even care about protecting sites/content of folders, when access
to that folder is protected .. . That would be amazing if you could create a mod version of that addon
that can be easily found (i didn't attach it), it's called: "Link Password 4.0.1.0"
