Due to changes in Firefox, Update Scanner has been completely rewritten, and not all of the previous features are finished. If you’d like to help, see our Github and Issues pages.
Installation

Adding a Page

Editing Page Settings
You can choose how often the site will be checked for changes, and whether to ignore minor updates.

You can also see a list of updated pages by clicking the up-arrow toolbar icon.
Sidebar
To open the sidebar, click the up-arrow icon in the toolbar and press the Sidebar button. Updated items are shown in bold. Select an item in the sidebar to see the most recent changes.
