FireFox extensions. Version 2 Beta only

Glaucus · 15 Oct 2006 at 10:12

So what extension are you using.
Please only post of your using the version 2 Beta of FireFox

I can't find anything like BBcode which works on the beta

bledd · 15 Oct 2006 at 10:15

i'm not using beta 2 yet

do these work on it..
adblock plus https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/
filterset g https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

i wouldn't dream of using ffox without them!

stops all crappy adverts on pages

Glaucus · 15 Oct 2006 at 10:18

yep both work.

Works with:
Firefox 0.7 - 3.0 ALL

anything with 3.0 All or 3.0a1 ALL

Will work.

Wish they did a search for version X.X filter

Download "Nightly Tester Tools" and you can force compatibility with most if not all extensions: http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/nightly

yeah, you can edit the compatability by unzipping them and changing the ini file i think it was.., just compare it with one that works

How do you get it to work, firefox wont let any incompatible install so you can't use the make compatible button.

There's a checkbox before you install it.

toilen, give filterset g a go, its updated about every two weeks, to block new ads, and if there's anything that shouldn't be blocked, they get allowed by it too

Ran it in Minefield on another machine. Can't say I've seen anything blocked that shouldn't be (or vice versa).

Any chance of a SS as I can't find it.

There used to be a checkbox at install, but it's been removed in the last NTT update (1.1 still does it).
