I've been using Firefox for a few months now, and Adblock Plus for about as long. I think it must have had an update a few days ago (Adblock Plus, not Firefox), because now the buttons in Yahoo Mail (Delete, Mark, Move, etc.) only work when I turn Adblock Plus off.

>_<

Does anyone have a suggestion for an Adblock Plus alternative?

Can't you tell it to whitelist Yahoo mail? I use regular Adblock, which doesn't block things automatically.

Programs like that sometimes to do funny things. ZoneAlarm freezes GIF animations on my Dad's computer. Sometimes you have to hit Ctrl when you click on a link, for temporary releif.

But yeah, like Jon Boy said, there should be some way to bypass restrictions for certain websites.

The problem is, the buttons appear. They just don't DO anything.




*after some playing around*

Aha! Disable on blah blah . . .

That worked. Thanks!

The easiest thing to do is to "whitelist" yahoo.com. Otherwise you may disable all adblocking features.

Nope. Just disabled them for Yahoo mail. Which works fine. [Smile]
