The Adblock Project

Guest · Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2005 Post subject: cannot block ??

the newly updated adblock increased more options in the right click menu.
This includes
-Adblock image
-Adblock embed
-Adblock object
-Adblock iFrame
-Adblock remove Map

I have no idea why, now when i click on any of them, it doesn't popup a small window for me to specify the variables for blocking anymore. Just no effect at all. But somehow, certain images only show 'Adblock image', and this works when i click on them.

Any idea what is the problem? Also adding so many things to the menu increases the length of the list in the right click menu, sometimes it goes outside of my window. maybe a subfolder to group all these? of just an Adblock button, and specify the options above in a popup window??

There is no "newly updated Adblock"; you're using an unsupported build.

I wonder if you installed a modified build from the the Extensionsmirror site, and then it was automatically updated to the latest official version. I guess that could happen if those creating the modified builds kept the unique ID from the official version. Anyway, that is the latest version, but it is over a year old. So it's not new.

You are saying the all those items were added to the context menu. Are they always there, or only sometimes? If they are all shown, that is a bug. Only the option relevant to the object you are right-clicking on should be shown. ("Adblock Image" when right-clicking an image, etc).

Try uninstalling Adblock, then going to the homepage and download it again.

Download the XPI file to your computer and install it by dragging it onto an open browser window.
