[Chrome]
When exporting to clipboard, a box pops up saying it was exported with an OK button. You can't just click somewhere else in the window, as the window is locked waiting for confirmation.

You can still use other windows in the browser but Chrome will lock that window as active and in front, so if you click on another program (such as JDownloader to paste the cookies), chrome will snap focus back to that window until you click OK.

Enabling this extension slows down chromium a lot and incrreases CPU usage enourmously., Tab switching normally takes <0.2s, but with this extension enabled, it takes 1-2s or sometimes even more, at high cpu usage.

Motivation

If you do not have access to the unified extension icon it's not possible to control the cookies.

Use Case

• create a new empty directory $profile;
• create the sub-directory $profile/chrome;
• create the file $profile/chrome/userChrome.css with the following content:

#unified-extensions-button,
#unified-extensions-button > .toolbarbutton-icon {
  width: 0px !important;
  padding: 0px !important;
}

• create a file $profile/prefs.js with the following content:

user_pref('toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets', true);

• open Firefox using this profile firefox - profile "$profile";
• add the extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/flag-cookies/

Current Behavior

The extensions became useless

Expected Behavior

Being able to right click anywhere on the page and having a shortcut sub-menu item that would spawn the same popup on unified extensions icon.

Being able to access the page about:addons and click over the ellipsis and having a Preference sub-menu which we could control all cookies globally regardless the page, such as accessing the page moz-extension://01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef/cookies.html (getting the uuid from about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox) directly, that current doesn't work.

For both behaviours I recommend making something similar to NoScript Security Suite.

Information

Browser: Firefox 116.0.3 (64-bit)
flagCookies Version: 3.1.16
OS: 6.5.3-1-edge

Is it possible to make the extension work even with privacy.firstparty.isolate set to true?

Steps to Reproduce

• create new bare empty profile;
• open about:config and change the value of privacy.firstparty.isolate to true;
• install the extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/flag-cookies/;
• open the extension popup via the unified extensions icon;
• select the mode Global;
• browse any website that contains cookies;
• open the extension popup again;

Current Behavior

No cookie are shown

Expected Behavior

Show cookies

Information

Browser: Firefox 116.0.3 (64-bit)
flagCookies Version: 3.1.16
OS: 6.5.3-1-edge

I thought the profile mode applied with global mode would keep the domains that are specified but it still deletes those cookies as well.
I dont want to check the key icons on all the cookies that I need for every domain that I need.

My reply is here:

Firefos Add-on: Getting file from file chooser after extension popup closed

Support for cookies in container groups / contextual identities support is broken at present.
This does affect Firefox.

I often get a popup notification telling me the extension was updated.
