ABP and Element Hiding after armag-addon

Post by stanrames »

Took all weekend to get Firefox functional again with add-ons.

My issue is I use ABP 3.0.3, with Element Hiding Helper 1.3.10.

All this on XP Pro 64-bit.
The add-ons needed to be reloaded (except for Element Hiding, which stayed in place, but updated today anyway).

This works totally differently than before the Firefox Meltdown of 2019.

NO right click function on the icon.
Left click gives me "block element", which I did...unfortunately on the specific forum it took out all the entries in posts.

It allows me no context window to see what is blocked to unblock, no option like before.

How do I fix this?

I have to disable ABP on that site fully, which makes it pointless to have.

Thanks

Ah...missed one thing. Or two.

FF 52ESR...newest to work on XP.

And, on the options page, enable right click element helper was, and is, checked.

Figured it out...maybe.
Opened another computer (newer and much newer OS) and it had ABP 2.9.1.

So, how hard can this be, right?

Google ABP 2.9.1, find a link to this companies website, for 2.9.1, all the descriptors:

releases/adblock-plus-291-for-firefox-released

Download it, last window to okay...it's 3.5.something. Go ahead and try.

This is one of the reasons the FF meltdown upset me so. ABP is NOTORIOUS for, is the term "mousetrapping"? Says one thing, it's something else.

Tried all sorts of pages on this companies website (all different), and all but ONE tried to load latest and (in someone's estimation) greatest.

My Element Hiding Helper works now. Except it's left click not right click. But I can live with that.

Killed updates so you won't update me (as was the BIG problem before...kept updating me out of what I wanted).

So, until the next time, my work here is done.

Thanks.
