I'm too lazy to look for the original thread (so apologies in advance to whomever I'm quoting without crediting), but I did email the instructions to myself at the time, so here they are:
Quote:
Step 1: If you don't have Firefox already, get it here. Configure it, etc.
Step 2: Download these 2 extensions in Firefox after installing the browser -
AdBlock 0.5.2
ChromEdit
Step 3: Restart Firefox, then click on Tools - Adblock - Preferences
Step 4: Add 3 new filters:
http://images.neopets.com/buttons/*http://images.neopets.com/728ads/*http://images.neopets.com/ads/*Click Add button to save them. Then click done.
Step 5: Go to Tools - Edit User Files, then click on the userContent.css tab.
Step 6: Scroll all the way to the end, then enter a new line:
#ban { display: none !important; }
Click the Save button.
Step 7: Restart Firefox and enjoy an ad-free NeoPets experience
Now, this does
not work with the most recent version of Firefox, because ChromEdit is not compatible. I recently went looking for a fix, and found this...
Quote:
download the .xpi, rename to .zip, unzip install.rdf and edit max field to be 2.0 or whatever, put the file back into the zip and rename back to .xpi, drag & drop to firefox and you're set.
... but so far I can't get it to work. If anyone is technically minded and cares to explain it, the bit I'm stuck on is "drag & drop to firefox." I can't work out where it goes.
Hope this is vaguely useful.
