Block element not working.

Post by kukla »

FF 60/site

Code: Select all

http://www.newyorker.com/
Right-click then select "block element," get the block element popup, but then nothing happens. Am I missing something? New FF 60 bug?

Yes, that works, but you reply as if this supposed to be self-evident???? I was about to add that if I hit the green button on the popup, I get a full screen page with the filter ID, plus the add button, but wasn't allowed to edit.

How about ABP providing a small note to this effect on the popup itself? How is anyone supposed to know to expand the popup? Not exactly intuitive.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Perhaps it wasn't your intention, but your reply, its tone and brevity mostly, seemed to suggest that it should have been obvious that the popup needed to be expanded to continue.
