Well, I just tried AdBlock, and I got == Adblock Plus 1.2.2 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 3.0.6 == I'm running stable, and that's the problem (the min. version for Adblock is Firefox 3.0.12). I'll try Flashblock, despite its pessimistic approach (which pleases me). -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
