Hello.
I am running
"
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/60.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.6
Build identifier: 20210118013008
"
on UbuntuMATE Linux 20.10.
Seamonkey does not allow ad blocking plugins like Adblock Plus and
Adblock Ultimate, etc, that are allowed by Firefox, and, a plugin name
"Bluehell Firewall" that apparently does ad blocking and tracking
blocking, is "not compatible with your version of Seamonkey.
A strip had been appearing across the top of the window, for a
particular web site, and, it had displayed
"Parts of the page that track your online activity were blocked <Keep
Blocking> <Unblock> <Preferences> <x> "
In using a wireless mouse, that goes to sleep, when not in use, and,
which requires to be clicked, to awaken it, in one instance, after
logging in to the computer again, and, clicking the mouse, to awaken it,
it apparently clicked on the "Unblock" option, which was then,
implemented without confirmation being requested, and, I cannot restore
the tracking blocking for that web site, and, so, now, I have
even more problems with that web site, more than usual. It is one of
those web site that can be useful when it behaves itself, but, is
otherwise, problematic (and, apparently, as is revealed, a bit
malicious).
The strip across the top of the window, no longer appears for that web
site, and, in going into the web browser preferences, I can not find a
way to restore the ad blocking and tracking blocking, for that web
site.
Why is Seamonkey blocking the ad blocking and he tracking blocking?
Why does Seamonkey not allow the plugins that have mentioned, to work
with this version of Seamonkey?
In that strip that no longer is displayed for that web site, on another
web page, where the strip is displayed (sinister state government
parliamentary web site), clicking on the Preferences button in the
strip, to find whether I can remove the unblocking for the offending
URL, has no effect; the "Preferences" button only takes me to the
Preferences -> Privacy & Security menu.
And, in the Preferences -> Privacy & Security menu, are the two options;
"()Prevent tracking activities by known sites
() Warn me when known tracking activities were detected"
with the second option being able to be implemented, only when the first
option is implemented.
But, unchecking both of those, and, then, checking them again, does not
restore the ad blocking and tracking blocking, where it was inadvertently
unblocked.
And, no option is apparent, for listing/editing blocked or unblocked web
sites or URL's.
