Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Optimized storage of internal data · 2006-12-06 16:06 by Wladimir Palant
Changes
- Made tab displayed by “Show tabs on Flash and Java” a link (because of the context menu and ability to middle-click, bug 15638)
- “Show tabs on Flash and Java” can be used without JavaScript again (bug 15637)
- Made sure that web pages constantly reloading images won’t increase required memory (bug 15317)
- No longer relying on extension version reported by the browser (is unreliable in SeaMonkey, forum thread)
- Firefox: Adblock Plus icon shows up at the right edge of the navigation toolbar by default (forum thread)
- Increased maxVersion for Songbird to 0.3
- Removed obsolete file property from install manifest (not required for Firefox 1.5 and higher)

- Using Gecko’s built-in feature for scrolling to node when selecting in the sidebar — should be less error-prone
- Improved check for objects opened on its own (tabs shouldn’t be shown for these objects)
