"Select" option disappeared ? :/

Post by nmr50 »

Hello everyone!
I am sure have seen some time ago "Select" option to make selection on annoying ads and then block them.. Now I have only this menu:

How can I re-enable this "Select" option in menu, please tell ?

Thanks in advance!

Hello mapx!
Really, I use SeaMonkey that is fork from FF. Thanks!

I have installed EHH, it has appeared in Extentions - but I do not see no new icon of EHH, no new "Seletion" for it..
What to do next ?
Version I use is: SeaMonkey 2.33.1 (which is reported to some identification sites as Firefox 36.0).

Thanks in advance!

Pretty strange, but earlier versions are NOT available for download.
Every click I do on version I want to install - "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... 1.1-signed", it leads to the SAME page and the same point where I "left" previous page.

Can you , PLEASE, provide direct URLs to .xpi versions 1.3.1.1 and 1.2.3.1 ?

Thanks in advance!

don't click on the title, see on the right "Add to firefox"
just move the mouse over the title, you'll get on the right "add to..."

Seems like the page does not detect Seamonkey as fork of FF so I get this button instead if "Add to firefox":

I think I found the way how to get xpis directly.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/down ... +zm+tb.xpi
--- change "1.3.5.0-beta" to any number of version you want - 1.3.0 or 1.2.1.1 - it will deliver .xpi to you:) - the good news.
The bad news is that when I try to install these versions - my browser assures me that "this version is not compatible with Seamoney 2.33.1".
I will try to pick up different versions, so Seamonkey will get it..

-t
PS. Not, it still delivers 1.0 version that is not compatible... that is why my Seamonkey complains about it... heck. I'll try to run FF and get prev. versions by hand.

ok, version 1.3.1.1 working fine - unlike version 1.3.3 which is not functioning with reason I don't know.

Thanks to You, mapx, Be Well!:)

BTW, is there _the same_ version of EHH for Chrome (I use SRware Iron = fork of Chrome 44.0.2350.0)?
Why I am asking - ADP for FF is _not_ the same as for Chrome..
