Adblock plus, Firefox 47.

Post by OldSchool297 »

I got an old computer so i can't have any newer than Firefox version 47, is there any way to install an old version of Adblock plus?

Moving to Firefox Support...

I checked the Addons Site but the oldest version of ABP is v48.

ref; Version 3.0.3 way down the bottom.

U Block Origin is even worse.

Stops at v52 or so.

AFAIK, extensions for versions of Firefox that are considered "Legacy", i.e., for Firefox 56 and earlier, were removed from the Addons.Mozilla.Org website quite awhile ago. Many of the Legacy extensions were downloaded and posted to a "Legacy Collector" website.

Good luck determining which version works with a specific version of Firefox, the documentation of such is lacking.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.

Thanks the-edmeister.
I didn't have that site Bookmarked in this laptop.
I do now.
-------------
For "OldSchool297",
I'd suggest that you try the last from the html INDEX link one/s first.
Say...v2.9 or 2.91...
Remember, I mentioned that the earliest version was v3.0.3...= v48.

I guess 2.8.2 is the best version for Firefox 47.

Hopefully, there isn't a new filter syntax in a recent filter list that causes a problem.
