Pike, thanks for the suggestion, i will try it out and let you know :)

somehow i think Noah is right about the theme conflict.

#42 Dave Wednesday, 10th November 2004

doesnt work in 1.0, new build coming soon?

#43 Pike Wednesday, 10th November 2004

@Dave

It works for me in FF1.0, what problem are you having with it?

#44 Ronny Thursday, 11th November 2004

For me too. Thanks for your work, nice job.

#45 Tjaard Sunday, 5th December 2004

I've just added an nl-NL locale to Popup Count, feel free to incorporate it into your own XPI. http://www.seeraamuun.net/tutorials/extensies.html

#46 Pike Sunday, 5th December 2004

@Tjaard

I'll need your e-mail address before I can add the locale to the official version (so I can contact you if the translation needs updating).

#47 Greg S Sunday, 12th December 2004

Hi, does this only work with the default theme? What I get is an icon in the bottom right of the status bar, and next to it numbers, presently 6(19). Would the 19 be the all time blocked and is it suppose to show all time blocked when moused over? thanks

#48 DPM Sunday, 12th December 2004

Works well in 1.0 for me :D

#49 Pike Sunday, 12th December 2004

@Greg S

I think it should work in most themes but I haven't tested too extensively.

By default it shows the number of popups blocked on the current page, but you can change it to also show the total number blocked in parenthesis by going to "Tools->Extensions->Popup Count->Options".

#50 Greg S Sunday, 12th December 2004

OK, I see now, it's either or. I don't know why the simplest of things confuse me. Thanks

This is a nice Extension, the FireFox PopUp Blocker is cool, but it needs these extra features.

#53 Evan Thursday, 23rd December 2004

things you need it to do

1. make it compatable with Noia Extreme Theme cause it is the best and most popular theme there is

2. make it able to move where even i want it to

3. i only want to know the total blocked, so i want it to display the total at all times.

thanks

#54 Pike Saturday, 25th December 2004

@Evan

1. What's the problem when using Noia Extreme (please try to be specific when reporting bugs)? I tried Popup Count 0.2.6 and Noia Extreme 2.81 with Firefox 1.0 and didn't notice any problems.

2. I doubt I'll do this.

3. This is on my todo list, there was a partial solution to this in comment 30 but I suspect it's out of date now.

#55 Mori Sunday, 9th January 2005

Hi,

Thank you for your work. I have translated Popup Count in french.
Because of bug n° 258878 in Bugzilla, I have to write an updateURL line,
pointing to http://extensions.geckozone.org/ which gathers the french
extensions. You can find it on http://ersplus.free.fr/spip/article.php?id_article=70

Best regards and happy new year 2005.

Mori.

#56 Pike Monday, 31st January 2005

@Mori

Did you get my e-mail? If not can you please mail me, thanks.

#57 John Thursday, 17th February 2005

Hi

thanks for the extension , it's great but it needs more features!

for one at least, i wish i could right click on the Pop up count Icon, and be able to see the address of the pop up that have been blocked, Also be able to White list some of them. it would have been great if the icon go Flash, or get your attention in some other way! thanx

#58 Kool_Savas Thursday, 7th April 2005

Hi Pike,

I have a good idea for Popup Count.

In the Mozilla Suite, you can cease set when a popup is block, that sound is playing.
This possibility it doesnīt give in Firefox and a lot of user miss it. I think that it would a good add-on for your Popup Count.
Greetings

#59 Peter Saturday, 9th April 2005

Hi Pike,

itīs really nice your Popup Count.

But is it possible to place the icon not in the status bar but in the symbolbar? And with the settings of this you may place it wherever you want like. Then it wouldnīt be this little icon nobody sees in the last edge of the display.

MfG
Peter

#60 Guillaume Sunday, 10th April 2005
