Can't install latest legacy UBO

[faramir9]

Hi. Trying out Pale Moon again. Trying to install the latest legacy UBO, but there is no .xpi at github, or anywhere else I can find. (The assets keep loading, in an endless loop.) It looks like UBO legacy has not been updated in more than a year, anyway. Is the project kaput? Thanks.

The links in the GitHub repo's releases page are likely not appearing because you don't have Palefill installed (documented extensively elsewhere, you may search the forum for other details).

You can either install Palefill first then download from uBO's GitHub page, or you may try installing uBO directly from Fresco instead.

Thanks. The Fresco link worked perfectly. Much appreciated. Now to fight the good fight to block YouTube ads....

Thanks much, Mr. Grizzly. That worked. No YT ads.

Now to find an add-on that will allow us to comment on FB posts. A fella can dream.

Maybe a little visual warning within the PM addons list is needed about this palefill requirement.next to the ubo extension for example.Just saying and a very happy xmas to all PM users.

I get in-video adds lately on YouTube despite uBO Legacy...
No issue with official uBO in other browsers.

Above filters don't deal with these...
You can check here.

What can be the cause of this?

I checked your link with PM, FX and SM and I get no ads. I use the above rules in all three within uBO. Maybe some of my other rules or filter subscriptions are blocking them.

If you're talking about the sponsor ads for the MPG Z690 Force Motherboard or the Corsair 7000X, those are embedded (part of the actual video) by the author.

I should have been more clear.
I meant the pre-roll ads at the beginning of the video.
I thought these would be blocked by the default lists?

I get no ads with uBO in all three of the mentioned browsers. Maybe you should expand your filter subscriptions?

Just found out what was the culprit.
Some time ago, I replaced the assets in uBO Legacy with the current ones from uBO...
(because some assets were out of date/removed, like "Online Malicious URL Blocklist" and "Spam404").
All seemed to work well untill now.
Did a complete uninstall of this version, including deleting ./extension-data/ublock0.sqlite and installed the test build from here.

Added "Online Malicious URL Blocklist" to "Custom".

All is well again.
Sorry for bothering you.

Not a bother. We're all here to help each other and to keep PM going strong!
