ublockorigin

Hi,

I would like to add to Gnuinos
ublockorigin to my icecat/firefox browser.
There is one available but the file is corrupt and can´t be installed.

Is there a way to install ublockorigin?

thanks

Re: ublockorigin

Go to about:addons in your firefox browser URL entry bar search on uBlock Origin then use the Add to Firefox button to add it, no clue on the icecat I have never used it.

this does not work because there is no possibility to add some add-ons.

but going to : plugins
there is an option to get extensions via: gnuzilla.gnu.org
oping that there is ublockorigin
but the installation failes, its corrupt.

Also from the firefox website it is corrupt and there is a possibility to download firefox with ublockorigin which I don´t want.

I am using icecat extended support release 102.11.0esr (64-bit)  GNU IceCat gnu-1.0

Why are you using a version of Icecat that is so old? That version of Icecat is over two years old.

I did a search on DuckDuckGo for "icecat 102.11.0esr" (no quotes) and found this:

“Version 102.11.0, first offered to ESR channel users on May 9, 2023”

Re: ublockorigin

i cant it to librewolf on alpine linux.

which provided as seperate ublock package by alpine.

Error says: unsigned addon.

firefox(so derivatives) forces so hard on signed addons.
no way a workaround which i am aware of.
about:config stuff not works.

i report it to alpine and librewolf guys.
then i give up firefox and derivatives.
i dont want to bother for some reason.

Re: ublockorigin

Hi aitor,

I downloaded
icecat-l10n-de_128.14.0-1+6genuen1_all.deb   

and during installing it asked me which version of 101 versions.
I pointed to 
icecat-l10n-de

after installation it says:
icecat-l10n-de (102.11.0-1)

but that is the old version, isn`t it?

where is my mistake?
