Which version?

Post by xwsmithx »

Hi, all. I found the page (after quite a bit of searching) that lists previous versions of adblocker, but nothing to indicate which one I should get. I'm using an antiquated computer with WinMe and Firefox 2.0. Got an adblock plus that will work with it?

Hello,

Browser compatibility is listed right below the Adblock Plus version. 1.0.2 was the last to work with Firefox 2.

You may also consider installing KernelEx: http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/
then Firefox 10.0.12esr: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org ... esr/win32/
and finally ABP 2.2.3: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... sion-2.2.3

Or, if you're able to obtain Windows 2000 somehow, you should be able to non-destructively upgrade from ME->2K and then avail yourself of Firefox 10.0.12esr and ABP 2.2.3, and have a more stable computer to boot.

Okay, great, thanks, now how do I get it? Clicking on the Download button doesn't do anything.

  1. Right-click the “Add to Firefox” button and choose Save Link As.
  2. Open the Add-ons Manager.
  3. Drag the file you saved onto the Add-ons Manager. An installation prompt should appear. Follow the on-screen instructions.

I'm back, finally, but now that link listed above doesn't work. Is that temporary or has the page moved?

If you are talking about taking the KernelEx route, use this direct link instead (then again, AMO should still work properly in Firefox 10esr): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/down ... on-history
