The Adblock Project

Adblock normally allows you to right click on the word "Adblock" in the Firefox status bar. Upon upgrading to the latest Adblock version (0.5 d2 nightly * build 39), I can no longer right click on that word to enable/disable Adblock. Now I have to go through a long list of menus to get to the enable checkbox in the prefs. Can you please reenable this feaure?

Thanks!

The official versions of Adblock never had that feature. You can enable/disable Adblock by pressing Ctrl+Shift+B.

I don't quite understand that answer. I have v0.5 d2 Nightly build 37 on Windows 0.9.3, and it has always had a right-click option to disable/enable. I'm sure I installed it from the AdBlock homepage, so how is that not official? At home on Linux the right-click option is not there and it is really annoying. Sure, I can use ctrl-shift-b, but I don't really want to bother my wife with that. Nearly everything in a modern desktop is right-clickable to provide quick access to options, and enable/disable sure is a convenient one, so I don't see the problem with having that as a feature.

No, you downloaded nightly 37 from someone's forum-link -- it was a third-party build. To avoid confusion, the official project skipped "37" for the its nightly build numbering.

Regarding right-clicking the status-element, see here.
