Interviewed by CNN on 07/09/2013 16:18, Paul told the world:
Is there an ad block program for SM 1119, Win XP?
Would appreciate a name or two.
Hmmm, tough question.
Leaving aside for the moment all the myriad reasons why it's inadvisable
to use a browser that old -- SM switched to 2.x almost four years old,
which is an eternity in Internet terms; the 1.1.19 is a few months newer
than that, but it only corrects a few bugs and is an end-of-life version
-- the main problem is that 1.x Seamonkey uses a different UI engine
(XPFE) than the one used by Firefox and current SM versions (Toolkit).
So porting an add-on from Firefox to Seamonkey 1.x was a lot of work,
and many developers simply didn't bother, or (even if they initially did
bother) eventually stopped supporting Seamonkey. With the changeover to
Toolkit in SM 2.0, just about everybody stopped supporting Seamonkey
1.x, period.
Which means that current versions of add-ons *won't* work with SM 1.x.
Your best bet is looking at old versions, which are almost certainly
abandoned by their authors and no longer maintained (kind of like SM
1.x, in fact) -- and therefore not up to handling the latest crop of
advertiser tricks.
Philip Chee has a number of extensions compatible with older Seamonkey
releases on his page at Mozdev; you may find something there.

I wish he'd get around to porting QuoteColors and NoSquint or let me
know of a replacement for either. I miss the both in SeaMonkey 2.20 +
