ηMatrix/eMatrix release/support thread (& other extensions of mine too)

The hosts files don't seem to be updating even manually for me right now. Do they need to be updated occasionally?

I had that problem recently myself. I opened nMatrix-dashboard selected the about tab clicked on backup to file button, completely shutdown browser, then went into my profile sub-directory and deleted the ../ematrix-data/ematrix.sqlite file. Restarted browser, opened nMatrix-dashboard, selected the about tab clicked on the restore from file button, selected previous saved file and all worked properly again. Was able to update host files.

That worked, thanks!

Hello there vannilla,

Don't know how easy this would be to implement, but it'd be great to have a way to instantly toggle eMatrix on/off, as in enable/disable the extension via something like extensions.ematrix.enabled boolean and/or something in the tray icon? With an about:config entry it'd be also easy to add a keyboard shortcut toggle with Dorando keyconfig for example.

This would greatly help with e.g. online payments, where the only way to be sure that something won't break is to temporarily disable ηMatrix. I know you can do this via UI (Add-ons Manager, or global scope>disable) but an instant, quicker way clearly beats these options!
