Restart browser to log out

fboender

Why, after all these years, is it still impossible to log out of sites that let me log in using HTTP basic authentication without restarting your browser? Why do we keep having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to just about anything web and browser related? My browser should take care of uploading files and showing a progress bar, not some tricky hacky buggy flash thingy. My browser should take care of logging me in and out of sites, not some stupid web form. All the while the so-called 'best' browser in the world, Firefox, can only focus on making itself slower and changing the icons with each release.

If anybody is interested in writing a useful plugin for Firefox, please, pretty please, pretty please with sugar on top… write an extension that can log me out of HTTP basic authentication.
