(2) is relatively easy too implement as well - see http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2229

AdBlockPlus 0.7.5.4 worked allright with Prism 0.9.0, however, I haven’t been able to get either 0.7.5.4 nor 0.7.5.5 to work with 0.9.1 :(

Yes, it does. But when installing addons in Prism, the version of Prism is checked, instead of the version of Firefox. So this has made installing addons really difficult.

i understand that the add-ons are designed to be compatible with specific versions etc, but doesn’t prism run on Firefox as it’s base?

Hi Mark

It’s great to have you respond on this. I guess many people (including myself) have been trying to get the addons working, but they have failed — causing much frustration. Maybe the documentation for how to get addons to work is lacking, or unclear.

Perhaps you could provide more (official) information in the forums or on the Prism page on MozillaWiki? Start with how to install Adblock ;-)

Prism _does_ support add-ons by default. But add-ons are designed to work with specific host applications. You can’t just willy-nilly drop add-ons into different hosts and expect them to work.

In this case, we get lucky - but the typical AdBlock UI doesn’t exist.

Trying steps #1 and #2 would be better :)

Ha! Thanks works!

I find it strange that Prism can’t support add-ons by default though…

thanks for the tip, i’m gonna link to it on my blog!
