Story with an ad AdBlock can't touch.

Specifically, on my system, I see a 'Hidden Gems' ad, with a background image used to display the graphic for the ad.

This may be beyond the abilities of AdBlock, as digging revealed that they've used a seperate .css stylesheet to load said image as the background.

This appears to mean that even by blocking the image loaded by name, AdBlock can't stop the image frmo loading and being displayed.

Also, trying to block the .css file itself is also fruitless, as it's being loaded via an @import tag inside an existing .css stylesheet integral to the webpage.[/url]

That ad-string doesn't block the image from loading here.

Platform: Gentoo Linux 2.4.22, compiled up from Stage1 install.
Mozilla FireFox 0.8 from CVS on 20040316, installed to local user directory, not installed system-wide.

.mozconfig:
Code:
ac_add_options --enable-svg
ac_add_options --enable-svg-renderer-libart
mk_add_options MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1
MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1

ac_add_options --disable-composer
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-ldap
ac_add_options --disable-mailnews
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-crypto

ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default,-inspector,-irc,-venkman

ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-pipe -Os -march=athlon-mp"

ac_add_options --disable-freetype2
ac_add_options --enable-xft
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2

mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1
MOZ_PHOENIX=1


No other extensions are installed except AdBlock (v0.5 d2 Nightly * build 35 installed from the webpage via .XPI file), which is installed to the Mozilla folder, not the Profile directory.

Does not work for me. I still get that fat cheesy ad in the middle of the page.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040320 Firefox/0.8.0+

I'm running the latest build 36 alpha.

Obj-Tabs isn't enabled. Toggling it doesn't affect the bug. Enabling it doesn't add a tab to that 'ad' either, as it's a background image.

I have noticed that it seems that the other people saying it doesn't work are using a version of FireFox that's 0.8 or later. Could there be some bug in the CVS tree that's breaking compatability with AdBlock in this subtle way?

And just to verify, I was the 'Guest' that initially posted the bug report, and that posted the first followup as 'Guest' until I noticed I didn't need to register to post with a username. Smile
