adblock Plus with Thunderbird

Post by walkerpbus »

It seems not to be there at all although it is clearly in the add-on list. How can I control/install use it?
Situation solved with an update of Thunderbird
I don't know how to use it in Thunderbird; is there a link to proper TBird usage somewhere? The ads are coming back that I turned off in previous days. That plus the printing problem makes it sort of useless
Is there an answer for this?
It's happening again: "The ads are coming back that I turned off in previous days." AND "Ctrl+shift+F3" is not working at all!
Is no one going to reply? :(
Is there another Adblock with Thunderbird I could use?
Win 10 Pro desktop, but now 64-bit latest Windows 10. Usually latest or latest-1 Thunderbird on this machines.

There is ublock origin.

I looked on the adblock plus support page and there are about 18 forums for the various platforms, but none for Thunderbird. That seems a clear sign to use a alternative.

I'm following this thread, and I'm wondering why I would need an adblocker on TB. There are no ads in email. Their AMO page sheds no light on this.

I've never needed one. But some folks use ThunderBrowse (browse the net from a email client) or use Thunderbird as a RSS reader.

They use the Firefox section for Thunderbird.
