Show an "Are you sure?" dialog when selecting "Forget about this site" Topic is solved

[__NM64__]

When right-clicking on an entry in my browser history, I've now twice accidentally selected "Forget about this site" when quickly meaning to instead select "Delete this page" since 'Forget' is located directly below it without even a separator.

(luckily, both times I've been able to quickly bring up up the task manager and force-end the palemoon.exe process before it actually finishes, thereby seemingly preventing the 'Forget' process from actually having any impact)

But the fact that it's happened twice now is what made me wonder why, much like when opening a bunch of tabs, it doesn't ask "Are you sure?".

This is especially true since, at least on my browser configuration with a ton of bookmarks and history, it seems to completely max out a single CPU core much in the same way that opening a bunch of tabs at once does (and this is on a dual-core desktop Haswell overclocked to 4.6GHz with idle utilization at a mere 0-1%). So from a performance standpoint alone it seems like asking "Are you sure?" would be worth it since it's my understanding that this performance reason alone is why we have an "Are you sure?" dialog pop up when opening a bunch of tabs at once.

uhh...what?

Did I do something that I'm not aware of and/or don't remember...? It's been like 5 months since I last visited the forum and AFAICT no ill will occurred towards me, and before that there was only a single sort of stand-alone post made within this year before one get to posts that are over a year old that I don't even remember making by now (and looking at the barely-existent discussion that resulted from them, they too don't look like they resulted in any ill will).

So uh... did I miss a memo somewhere?

Could save a lot of time by just getting rid of this subforum altogether. As I observed once before, why have a feature request board at all if everything is to be refused or expected to be done via extension?

You can use Menu Wizard to hide unwanted menu entries.

I think he wants a prompt, not to get rid of the menu altogether.

Naw, removing it works for me since I literally never use it. Thanks for the tip karlkracher!

And if for some reason I need the function, then I can still temporarily disable the extension.


EDIT: Actually it looks like the extension itself has a built-in "show all" option so that I don't even have to disable the extension and/or reset my settings in order to access the "forget site" option, so yes this solution works great!

Don't make unilateral decisions without discussion for what is still not your project, Tobin. And don't be so rude.
If you're having a bad day, stay off the forum; it's better for everyone.

I'd still like to hear people's suggestions -- although things may not be implemented or implemented differently or (initially!) be redirected to extension use, doesn't mean we don't want to hear user suggestions or feature requests. BUT as I've also stated clearly, for some added feature to the core it must have objective usefulness to many users, and not be for someone's individual workflow or (in)ability to perform a task.

Sorry NM64, Moonchild.
