Firefox - Page 2

works great, just go to tools, adblock, preferences, and find the domain name you blocked and than its type and press delete. OMG see one time i blocked google when trying to just block google adframes, and i couldnt use it. after about 15 minutes of fidgeting i realised it was adlock, and then i just went and removed the filter for google. I love it sites like newgrounds with tons of porno ads i want blocked are now gone, along with all other ad banners from everywhere else, including flash. I like some sites with bad ads because they are useful. In that case i just block the ads. PS, if firefox gets messed up like that you can open firefox in safe mode, or as a different user, disable adblock under extensions, reload firefox and configure things.

southernlady,

I was using netscape 7 and have it to block all pop ups. I have ads turned off here too. But after Mike change to the newer sofware we are using now The PM pop up did not work right. It would pop up that you had a PM but when you click on it and then your PM would open up it changed so when you clicked it that the PM message would close down after you clicked the ok about getting a PM. So I have TSG so I can get pop-up in my setting.
Like I said I have no ads here and also there are no pop up ads here so that was what I did so the PM opens right.

Can't believe how much crapware et al this browser stops, I just hope it stays as a niche product....

Its interface is amazingly easier to use than Internet Explorer's, and a lot more attractive than plain gray and blue. I love how easy it is to pick and choose what you want it to do and how you want it to look like... it's awesome!

my adblock filters go on forever, its more detailed. private message me if you want them. Does nuke it ext also handle text?

Big-K · 09-Nov-2004, 06:32 PM **#26**

I use adblock. I now get very very very very very few ads ever. If only I could get rid of certain words and phrases now.

BTW, firefox 1.0 has been out in beta for a long time now, so i've had it for at least a month or two now.

I've been useing beta also. Hey, Firefox 1.0 is _A_W_E_S_O_M_E_
Now, i'd love to be selective on what text displays. That would be a good one for adblock developers. Hey, if you send me your filters i'll send you mine so we can append the filters. I don't think i have had a popup forever and now i get slim to nothing for ads. I ocassionally have to disable it on some sites but thats very rarely. I'm happy to say all web related items (eg *.htm) now open with firefox along with links. Its my default browser and will stay that way.

Well, nvm i'd use nuke anything to remove text ads, and leave the others to adblock. you can also remove the adsense inside of gmail by modifying a configfile for firefox.

update <***nuke anything will clear up a site from text, and pretty much anything, too bad its not permanent, that way i could clear out white spaces left over by adblock. i'm sure they are developing permanent tho.***>

i am a dedicated Mozilla and now FireFox user, and previous Netscape user. but i am disapointed with the new 1.0 release

. none of my plugins are compatible. its not like it was a major change in version and thus ud think my plugins would work. now i gotta wait for the developers to make the updates. im thinking of reinstalling PR just so i can maintain the use of my plugins

altho, on a more positive note, its much faster, i have the pipelining tweak which probably helps, but i like the status bar, thats the onlything i ever liked in IE... lol
