AdGuard Firefox Extension

[avatar]

Hello all!

We are pleased to announce that our Firefox extension is now ready for the beta test.
It is not yet ready for open beta though but I hope with your help we will fix it soon

How to install
1. Download xpi file from this link: http://chrome.adtidy.org/app.html?app=main.xpi
2. Drag this xpi to Firefox

One more notice. As I know (please correct me if I am wrong) Adguard's Firefox extension is the first original (not based on abp code) ad blocking extension over the past 5+ years.

I think you're right though I'm not sure if OSM! Adblocker is based on ABP or not.

Does Adblock for Windows integration work? Haven't tried yet! If so, I've got another question (applies to the Chrome/Opera extensions too); If I have the English filter enabled in the extension, does it clash with Adguard for Windows' filtering in any way? Or does the extensions detect the main program and disable all filtering features? Do the extensions "pass" filters created in the extensions to the main program?

Also, is there a list of known issues? I don't want to report the obvious, obviously.

Not yet, we'll enable it in the next beta.

If main program was detected -- extension just does nothing.

Do the extensions "pass" filters created in the extensions to the main program?

Firefox - not yet. Chrome/Opera - yes.

Also, is there a list of known issues? I don't want to report the obvious, obviously.

Not yet

i think you're wrong. silent block is using regex to do adblocking ( not abp code ) and it is still updated.

 

[Venky]

by default the counter stays at 99 even if the individual page count is different.

Does it happen every time on every web site?

Mm, for me url blocking is not ad blocking.
Disconnect and Ghostery are not ad blockers, so why silent block is?

it is not url blocking. they are using regex to block ads.

it is the same as adsblocking in squid which block file rather than url

some regex filters

yes it appears on every website, try the slideshow on this website

http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/photodhamal-gadget/news-events/nokia-phone-to-be-renamed-microsoft-mobile/articleshow/34037628.cms

when it reaches 99 it stays constant and then all the pages show 99 blocked.

Looks like a bug but I cannot reproduce it.

1. Which version of Firefox you use?
2. Could you please open "Tools" - "Web Developer" - "Browser Console" and look for JS errors there?

 

[Pentlands]

To a degree i can reproduce this, i did in Firefox 28.0, and just again after upgrading to Firefox 29.0.

To reproduce the issue on the webpage Venky links to you need to start the slideshow then sit back for 10-15 minutes [alternatively manually use the menu to scroll through the slideshow, which is faster.] , each 'slide' results in one ad being blocked which is verified by the rising count in the toolbar icon, it rises until it gets to 99 then it stops rising.

My guess is it stops rising when it gets to 99 as that is the limit set for the number of characters allowed within the taskbar icon, and more than likely the source of the issue?

When it reaches 99 it does appear to have a knock on effect for other Tabs, or other open instances of Firefox, in that the toolbar counter will sometimes been seen rising from 0 to <enter random number> then disappear from that tab etc... yet it remains on the original tab/window at 99.

There doesn't appear to be a set pattern for what happens when the counter reaches 99, not one that I've been able to reliably replicate, other than when the counter reaches 99 in any FF tab/browser the counter remains erratic until that window/tab where 99 is reached is closed.

Fyi, clicking on the taskbar icon does show the correct number of blocked ads in that session and also the correct (afaict) total blocked ads.

Hope that helps.

P.S. Where should i post for other Firefox Extension issues?... Beta Testing > Quality Control for instance?

Okay, I notice there's a new build (1.0.2.0) and it's much improved. The only issue I've noticed thus far (Adguard for Windows detection/integration) is that sometimes the count changes from all (indicating integration's working) and where it begins to start blocking ads (indicated by a number) at random. But if I force refresh a page when this occurs, sometimes it'll change back to all for the count. This is VERY apparent on new tabs. An example url where this is happening often enough; http://www.ky3.com/weather

Other times, more rarely, there's a situation where a page will load up with no all or number indicator. And I'm not talking about when starting the browser with a homepage - that's a extension limitation I believe. I mean after the extension has been loaded and after some other pages have been browsed.
