Flashblock 1.5.18 is not Compatible with SeaMonkey 2.31 nor is
the older
version for SeaMonkey. But it can be made compatible with a few
simple
steps:
1. go to the Firefox Add-Ons page for Flashblock:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/
2. Copy the link to download Flashblock from the button "Download
Now"
or use the link I have provided below:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/433/addon-433-latest.xpi?src=dp-btn-primary
3. Go to the Addonconverter page:
http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/convert.php
4. Paste the download link for Flashblock (see step 2 for the
link url)
into the box below this phrase:
"or paste direct link to xpi file or full URL of add-on page at
https://addons.mozilla.org/:";
5. Click Convert at the bottom of the page and you will be
prompted to
install Flashblock in SeaMonkey. You can safely ignore the warnings
about installing Flashblock. After SeaMonkey restarts you will once
again have Flashblock up and running in SeaMonkey.
I hope this helps. :)
Why bother? FlashBlock 1.3.20 for SeaMonkey was released at the same
time as Flashblock 1.5.17 was released for Firefox. They are both
available at <http://flashblock.mozdev.org/>.
On the other hand, FlashBlock 4.20.13 for Firefox is available at
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-block/>. I
converted this for SeaMonkey compatibility at
<http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/>, but I have not yet tried
installing and using it.
If you were paying attention FlashBlock 1.3.20 does not work with
SeaMonkey 2.31. So if you want to use Flashblock you have to convert
Flashblock 1.5 so that it will work with Seamonkey.
Plus the latest version of Flashblock IS 1.5.18!
Flashblock 1.5.18 is for Firefox. The latest version for SeaMonkey is
1.3.21, which should be good even for SeaMonkey versions starting with
3.nnn.
What "SeaMonkey versions start with 3.nnn."?? Or do you mean SM 2.3nn,
David??
No, I really meant 3.nnn. The install.rdf file for Flashblock 1.3.21
anticipates a future SeaMonkey version number beginning with 3. Note
the <em:maxVersion> in the following fragment from that install.rdf file:
<!-- Seamonkey TNG -->
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>2.1</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
Ahh!! So it should work for every edition up to and *excluding* ver
3.n!! That seems reasonable.
Err, I think that means up to and INCLUDING ver. 3.x.
