Hello, Some time ago, I was able to use the firefox "Flashblock" extension in Epiphany. This extension substitutes a clickable button for flash animations, and delays the playback of the animations until that button is clicked. As more websites now are abusing flash animations for things such as window popups. Unfortunately I am unable to run this extension in Epiphany at the current time.
I've followed the instructions at http://gnome-hacks.jodrell.net/hacks.html?id=63 with no success. The perl script included on that page no longer functions, as it requires downloading a file that is no longer available and is also not googleable. Furthermore, the workarounds suggested on that page (what I had used previously) do not function with my current setup (Ubuntu 5.10, Epiphany 1.8.2). The failure I am getting is that I can install the .xpi in Epiphany, which informs me that it will be enabled "when I restart firefox", but the flashblock functionality is missing. I am able to continue re-installing the XPI with no effect. Adding all of the about:config items from firefox (that I know of) has no effect on the failed result. Has anyone had luck with getting the flashblock extension to work on Epiphany recently, and if so can someone give me a tip in this regard? If not, is there an epiphany extension currently or in the works that offers similar functionality?
