easier activation/deactivation of adblock plus
easier activation/deactivation of adblock plus
hi!
i'm new here, so please bear with me if i'm posting something that's been discussed already. (i did use the keyword search beforehand.)
since i'm using the "activate/deactivate" function far more often than the "blockable elements"-window that appears when i click the ABP-octagon in firefox, i'd like to suggest to make a minor change to the interface.
how about activating/deactivating ABP by simply clicking the octagon, and accessing the blockable elements-list through the dropdown menu?

Middle clicking on the ABP icon will activate / deactivate it.

umm, but that requires a three-button mouse, which - where i'm from (austria/europe) - pretty much nobody has. in fact, i haven't seen anybody using three-button mouse in several years.
laptops usually don't have a third mouse-button either, do they?
if you feel that it's not necessary, i can live with it. just thought i'd make the suggestion, since i assume the frequency of use is so different.

Cool, now I'm not the only Austrian here. Though, I can't agree with you. I haven't seen many 2-button mouses in the last years here in Austria. Maybe you do have a third mouse button and you just don't know it? For most mouses I know you just have to click the wheel.markus wrote:umm, but that requires a three-button mouse, which - where i'm from (austria/europe) - pretty much nobody has. in fact, i haven't seen anybody using three-button mouse in several years.
From my experience, that's true.markus wrote:laptops usually don't have a third mouse-button either, do they?
To your question: Type "about:config" in firefox' adress bar, search for the entry
Code: Select all
extensions.adblockplus.defaulttoolbaraction
More informations about the about:config options can be found here: http://adblockplus.org/de/preferences
That is most likely because you or who ever setup your computer installed the software that came with the mouse (eg: Microsoft intellipoint). The software usually screws with the buttons. I personally rarely install the software that comes with such devices, usually works better without it.on my mouse(s), "clicking" the wheel just activates another mode of scrolling

A lot of people don't know about the about:config settings. Maybe it would be a good idea to make things like this appear in the ABP options menu.

Hubird: It is already there (inside Options menu in preferences and below it in the toolbar icon's menu). And I hope the people who care about this read the FAQ sometimes (http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_basics#disable).
Sorry I meant exposing some of the settings available in the about:config to the user under the Options Menu.Wladimir Palant wrote:Hubird: It is already there (inside Options menu in preferences and below it in the toolbar icon's menu).

For example being able to change the default keyboard shortcuts and the default options for left,right or middle clicking.
