I’ve built new galeon packages from CVS (get them here), that have working typeahead find again, working password prompts (so you can login to websites again) and - working flashblock. This is love!

How to install flashblock with galeon:

  • Get flashblock.xpi from flashblock.mozdev.org
  • unzip the .xpi file
  • put the flashblock.jar file into /usr/share/galeon/chrome
  • Create a file /usr/share/galeon/chrome/flashblock.manifest with the contents content flashblock jar:file:///usr/share/galeon/chrome/flashblock.jar!/content/flashblock/ (in one line)
  • edit ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/chrome/userContent.css and write @import url(chrome://flashblock/content/flashblock.css); there.

Enjoy a world with (next to) no unwanted flash!
