How to install Adblock Plus in Gran Paradiso 3.0.4 [SOLVED]
Hi,
I'm trying to install Adblock Plus in the version of Firefox I use which (for some licensing issue) identifies itself as Gran Paradiso 3.0.4. The Adblock plus version is 0.7.5.5. I've looked at the install.rdf for the xpi and it seems that Adblock Plus will install int Firefox 3.0.* so it seems to be an issue with the name - Gran Paradiso. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks

I'm using that version of Adblock Plus in Gran Paradiso 3.0.4 and it works perfectly on all my boxes.
Not sure why it won't load for you.

You can try to change the user agent in Firefox:
about:config --> general.useragent.extra.firefox
and set it to Firefox/3.0

I'm using privoxy. It works great not only with Firefox, but also with Midori.

Privoxy seems way overkill for what I want and my skills.

I just received a notice from Gran Paradiso that Adblock Plus version 1.0 is now available, if you want to try it.

OK, problem solved. There was a '.lock' file in the .mozilla directory that semed to be preventing the browser from restarting properly. Once that was deleted everything worked fine. Also, I just updated to Adblock Plus version 1.0
Thanks Skottish and ozar!
