Ads were yesterday!
Description
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet
that often take longer to download than everything else on the
page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them.
Since Songbird lacks a context menu, you cannot block the ads
easily like in Firefox. Consequently, it is recommended to add some
subscription like EasyList and just let it do the work
automatically.
Release Notes
This development build is pretty close to Adblock Plus 1.1 release, it is compatible with Songbird 1.2b1. For more details, see full changelog.

Other Add-ons by Wladimir Palant

very good extention. thanks a lot
excellent!, Songbird, beauty & usefull :D:D
This is the most useful extension ever
Now Songbird is well on it's way to being the firefox of media players! :D
do NOT use AdBlock. It blocks the servers for the pong and screws up the metrics, thereby flagging the metrics as failed, and so component loading is flagged as failed. As a consequence, mp3s and flac do not play at all. I also deleted the SongbirdVLC folder but that in itself did not have any effect. Once I uninstalled AdBlock, then it all started working again.
Best extension ever! I used it in Firefox and now I can use it in Songbird, too! Perfect! :D
this keeps saying that it needs additional items to work and not telling me what it needs , so how do i get this to work.
Songbird 0.4 states this add-on is not compatible. Installation failed.
winXP>sb clean install, clean profile, please repair.
The same thing happened to me on Songbird 0.5pre. I think this might be a different issue, as many addons are not supported in the version I have. Anyway, I love Adblock Plus and use it in Firefox. Keep up the good work, Wladimir!
Does not compute with newest Version. Please update for 0.5rc1 usage!!
Tyler out!
Adblock Plus definitely doesn’t do this. You probably installed Element Hiding Helper without installing Adblock Plus first–so the extension manager now tells you that you need Adblock Plus as well.
It took some time but the add-on is compatible now.
Done.
Need to set maxVersion to 0.7pre
We demande it on 0.6! ! !!
AHHHHHH 0.6 now!!!!!!!
Need to set maxVersion to 0.8.0pre
Wladimir there is also a bug related to toolbar can you contact me ?
Any chance this is getting updated to work with 0.7.0rcX ?
Manually changing maxVersion is not working for me.
OSX 10.5.4
Thanks
Please update for songbird 0.7
hey guyz
usin Version: Songbird/0.7.0 (20080819112912) XPCOMViewer/0.9a (2008072921) Build 716
WUT CAN WE DO BOUT TEH ADZ PLZ?
kthksby
We demande it on 0.7! ! !!
Damn!! It is possible to put Adblock compatible with Songbird 0.7! !! !????
please make it compatible with the newest songbird. please!
jeah it isnt compatible :(
I'm sad. My lovie Addon does not work with my Songbird :(
Why doesn't is the Install thing grayed out?
Let me first state that your safest bet is to wait for Palant & company to update adblockplus' install.rdf file to make it compat with songbird 0.7...
But if you don't feel like waiting, and you know how to edit *xpi files, take the install.rdf and change songbird's maxVersion from 0.6.* to 0.7.*
Info on editing install.rdf can be found here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Install.rdf
Open up Tools --> Add-ons and drag over your modified adblock_plus-0.7.5.4.xpi to install it.
@Wladimir Palant
Please update help us by updating this for songbird 7 plus
i hope you guys figure how to solve this bug very soon because i can't surf the web without adblock! that's kind of the only thing keeping me using firefox for browsing instead of songbird. Ad's are evil !!
good luck and thank in anticipation!
Just like Olivia, I love songbird, but ads make me run away...
Thanks for you updating work to come !
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Really appreciate your work!
Great Job on the 1.0 Release!
...Making it available for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Flock, eMusic Remote, Prism, and Songbird!!!!
Very impressive!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
i cannot live without adblock.
:-)
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!
can you set maxVersion to 1.2.0a please ?
Excellent addon for any mozilla product. Makes the web even faster, gets rid of obnoxious webpage warping ads, and gets rid of even more security vulnerabilities for your computer. Greatly looking forward to it being compatible again (honestly wouldn't have updated songbird if I payed attention to the fact this addon wasn't compatible yet XD ).
Please please release the version for the new Songbird!!
Ad Block I miss you so much...
Come back to me
(New Songbird is super amazing though :)
Using Songbird 1.1.1
Can't install it. :-(
Please....upgrade it to 1.1.1.
I also miss this addon...
This still works fine with 1.1.x, it's just that an internal file tells songbird otherwise.
Go here in Firefox - http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/5 - and download the extension manually (as .xpi). Since .xpi is just a zip file, you can open it using winzip or 7-zip.
Extract install.rdf and open it in notepad. Look for the Songbird entry and change the max version from 1.0.* to 1.1.* and save the file. Add install.rdf back to the zip file, overwriting the old one.
Then go to Tools > Addons > Install and select the newly modified .xpi.
I'm confirming gregg's suggestion (and also that it's as easy as he makes it sound). More importantly, though, I am expressing my undying love to gregg for explaining this and saving my poor tattered mind from the onslaught of advertisements!
Yo! Thank you so much for porting / updating this. One of the best FF add-ons! Massive love to you, Wladimir Palant :)
Made this work for the new songbird? Thnx man!! :-)
