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.
Bluhell Firewall 2.6.4 (FWIW an extension, not a plugin) works fine,
certainly on 2.53.5.1 and earlier, but see below.
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> "
...
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?
Keep Blocking uses the settings from Preferences>Privacy & Security.
Unblock grants permissions that you can revoke or otherwise modify
through Tools>Data Manager, select site, Permissions tab. That may be
what you're looking for. SM doesn't have ad-blocking built in.
Thank you for that.
In using that process, and, changing the settings for the three
variables, to default (global for Seamonkey), the settings are restored,
and, the tracking warning strip is again displayed.
Regarding the ad blocking, without the tracking blocking being
operative, ads would be displayed on the web page; with the tracking
blocking being again operative, the ads are again stopped from being
displayed.
It may be that the displaying of the ads, is dependent on the tracking;
that, for that web site, at least (if not others, where I also see the
tracking blocking warning strip displayed), the ads rely on context,
without which, they are not displayed?
