xulrunner & userContent.css -> flashblock

[Janek Kozicki]

Hi,

anybody knows how to modify xulrunner source so that it will once
again look into  ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/chrome/userContent.css
which will brink flashblock back to us?

All I have found are vague, cryptic references without any explanation
of what the problem actually is.  As far as I know, this issue affects
multiple browsers.  When last I looked at the mozilla bugtracker I
couldn't find any mention of it.

I have downgraded my Galeon (in Ubuntu Intrepid) to 2.0.4 to make it
usable again (I heavily rely on my userContent.css for ad-blocking and
flashblock).

If there are any Galeon developers reading this: do you have any more
information?  Is this problem being worked on?  Do you need volunteers
for writing code / testing?  Are there any workarounds?

Regards,
Adrianna

whew, finally I figured it out.

1. assuming that flashblock is installed "for galeon" in a way in which
   it doesn't work. Because xulrunner-1.9 ignores userContent.css

2. cp /usr/share/galeon/chrome/flashblock.manifest /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/chrome

3. add line

   @import url(chrome://flashblock/content/flashblock.css);

to file /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/res/ua.css

A fresh round of googling has yielded this Fedora bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446856

Someone submitted a xulrunner patch.  No activity on the bug since December. :(

The patch has some hardcoded stuff that shouldn't be there, but
basically it looks like if you edit
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.WHATEVER/res/ua.css (or lib64) and add:

  @import url(file:///home/YOURUSERNAME/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/chrome/userContent.css);

it will restore usage of the userContent.css file.  I will try it and
see if it works (AFAIK, Epiphany has the same issues, so I should be
able to use it for testing without messing with my downgraded Galeon).

(Of course, linking to your personal settings from system-wide
settings is very hacky.  It would be cleaner to move the
userContent.css to the global xulrunner settings directory as well.)

I will report my findings.

yeah, I've found exactly the same thing and it didn't work. Dunno why.

After some fiddling I've found that my method worked. And at least it
doesn't include my username in there :) But is still a bit hacky,
because it forces all xulrunner dependant apps to use flashblock.
Fortunately it didn't break firefox. I restarted firefox and it only
informed me that it there is a new version of flashblock available
and made an update. Successive restarting of both firefox and galeon
didn't bring anything new and it seems to work.

I just tried it, and it looks like my userContent.css is being found
by Epiphany -- but none of the flashblock stuff (which I have inside
my userContent.css) works.  This merits further investigation -- but
in the meantime I'm happy to have my old Galeon version.

He he.  :)

Trochę ten browser zdycha.  A szkoda -- bo lepszego jeszcze nie znalazłam. :/
