Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Status Update: 2010-09-24 · 2010-09-24 18:30 by Wladimir Palant

Done

Scripts to receive and display issue reports on the server side
Made sure links to documentation in Adblock Plus no longer need to be translated — the extension now uses a new entry point on adblockplus.org, the user is redirected to the correct language version if it exists.
Updated to Anwiki 0.2.3, will try to stay on stable releases from now on
Rewrote subscription list handling on server to use Python instead of Perl

In progress

Sending in reports about filter issues — will be in the next development build but more work is necessary.

Next

Handle various special cases in the issue reporter (e.g. users without filter subscriptions)
Create server script to receive issue reports.

Hi,

tried to install Adblock Plus in Friefox 3.0.1 and got this error notice:
>>
Firefox could not install the file at

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/1865/adblock_plus-1.2.2-fx+sm+tb+fn.xpi

because: Signing could not be verified.
-260
<<

Any idea of a workaround for this?

Thanks

Thanks for the response but sorry to be a pain; followed your link and fixed the certificate but now I am informed that ADB plus 1.2.2 cannot be installed because it is not comparable with firefox 3.0.1!

Very frustrating.

I loaded from this site and still the same notice. Any suggestions to fix this are appreciated.

O.K, I managed to get it working by deteating firefox and reenstalling and updated version. The auto update had been greyed out and i just assumed i was using the latest build.

Thanks very much.

I really like this application. Thanks for all your work.

Awesome program!

Any way to block slider flash ads by default, + animated gif ads (like on myspace advertising a layout page, etc)?

Also, what about a reset button in case someone just wants to resent Ad Block to default?

This way, people can have an easy way to reset in case of problems!
