Adblock Plus for Thunderbird - coming! · 2006-09-21 23:37 by Wladimir Palant
Note that even though this development build installs in Thunderbird and Songbird there is absolutely no user interface integration. You can only access the preferences via Tools / Extensions / Options (or File / Extensions / Options in Songbird). Integration in Thunderbird will improve, Songbird integration will stay very basic however — your best choice will be to install a subscription there.
Changes
- Changed install.rdf to allow installation in Thunderbird and Songbird
- Removed mail-specific protocols from the whitelist to allow blocking content in Thunderbird
- Fixed checkboxes in welcome dialog on Linux (forum thread)
- Now blocking content on keyword: URLs as well (bug 15072)
- Removed URL validation when deciding whether the URL uses to a whitelisted scheme (bug 15072)
- Made about:blank an exception, isn’t whitelisted by its scheme any more (bug 14793)
