Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[Unreleased]

🔄 Changed

  • Notifications: Successful cache clears are now silent; notifications are reserved for failures and warnings

🛠️ Improved

  • Error handling: Critical cache-clearing API failures now surface a user-facing error notification instead of only logging to the console

[4.9] - 2026-02-06

🐛 Fixed

  • Options i18n: Fixed localization of options labels
  • Empty settings race: Default settings are now applied on first click

🔄 Changed

  • Default behavior: "Site data only" is now OFF by default (global cache clearing)
  • Options label: Renamed to "Site data only (cookies/storage)" to reflect API limits
  • Icons: Switched toolbar and notification icons to PNG variants for stability
  • Minimum Firefox versions: Desktop 140+ and Android 142+ (AMO requirement for data_collection_permissions)

✨ Added

  • Blocked action badge: Shows ! on the toolbar icon when action can't run
  • Debug mode: Optional console logs for troubleshooting
  • Options guard: Prevents invalid site-only selections by enforcing compatible types

[4.7] - 2026-01-25

🐛 Fixed

  • Current tab only: Prevented clearing all data globally when site-only is enabled

✨ Added

  • Options warning: Clarified which data types are supported for site-only mode

⚠️ Known Issues

  • Firefox Beta freeze (148.0b6+): Reported UI hang when clicking the toolbar icon or saving Options in Firefox Beta (Windows 11). Still under investigation.

[4.5] - 2025-12-19

🐛 Fixed

  • Critical Bug: "Current tab only" option now works correctly. Was using Chrome's origins API parameter instead of Firefox's hostnames
  • Context Menu timePeriod: Context menu now respects the saved time period instead of always clearing "all time"
  • Undefined URL Handling: Fixed potential exception when currentTab.url is undefined
  • CSS Selector: Fixed section.clear-options to fieldset.clear-options to match HTML
  • Notification Spacing: Fixed double spaces in notification messages when not using current tab mode

🔄 Changed

  • Default Behavior: currentTabOnly is now true by default. New installs will clear cache only for the active site, not globally

✨ Added

  • Unsupported URL Error: Clear error message when trying to clear cache for special pages (about:, file://, moz-extension://, etc.) instead of silently falling back to global clearing
  • Missing Translations: Added unsupportedUrlMessage and other missing keys to pt_BR locale

🛠️ Improved

  • Settings Validation: Robust type checking for all stored settings with automatic correction of invalid values
  • Empty DataTypes Handling: Early return when no data types are selected, avoiding unnecessary API calls
  • Context Menu: Now respects currentTabOnly setting instead of always clearing globally
  • Internationalization: "(aba atual)" label is now properly internationalized as currentTabLabel

[4.4.0] - 2025-09-07

🆕 Added

  • Time Period Selection: Choose what timeframe to clear (15min, 1hour, 24hours, 1week, all time)
  • Current Tab Only: Option to clear data only for the active tab using origin-based filtering
  • Enhanced Context Menu: Right-click extension icon for "Clear Cache & Reload" action
  • Smart Notifications: Time period information included in notifications
  • Firefox Android Compatibility: Full compatibility with Firefox for Android (requires Firefox 113+)

🛠️ Improved

  • Background Script: Optimized event handling and memory usage
  • Options Page: Enhanced UI with new time period and current tab controls
  • Notifications: More informative messages showing cleared data types and time periods
  • Internationalization: Updated all 8 language files with new strings

🔧 Technical

  • Manifest: Added browser_specific_settings for version compatibility
  • API Usage: Enhanced browsingData.remove() with origin filtering and timestamps
  • Code Structure: Improved error handling and function organization

📋 Issues Resolved

  • Issue #12: Time-based cache clearing
  • Issue #15: Current tab only functionality
