Review summary

The Clear Cache and Data Firefox add-on is appreciated for its ability to selectively clear browsing data and speed up the browser, giving users configuration options not present in Firefox's native tools. However, multiple users complain about it unexpectedly deleting saved passwords, causing pop-up windows to hang, incomplete clearing of some data types, and requiring more clicks than native options. The lack of clear feedback on successful clearing is also a noted usability issue. Despite problems, many find the add-on useful for customized clearing of browser data.

Pros

clears selected browsing data effectively as promised
allows selection of which data to clear each time it is used
can speed up browser performance by clearing cache and data
configurable and useful for selective clearing rather than a one-click clean
works with Firefox versions 42.0 and later according to some users

Cons

removes saved logins/passwords (logins.json) unexpectedly and without warning
pop-up windows can get stuck or do not close automatically after clearing data
does not always clear downloads and offline website data effectively
requires multiple clicks (around 4) to clear data, which is more than native Firefox clearing dialog
lack of clear notification or confirmation after clearing data leading to confusion

2019-02-15	Da*****	It never seemed to work quite right. the pop down window stays 'stuck' onscreen, the confirmation window wouldn't go away, then it stopped actually doing anything. Then I realized I can do the same action natively in the same number of clicks (history > clear recent history > clear now) so I've removed it. Ideally would be great to set up as a button and simply click once to do everything. Good luck with it however!
