Does Super Ad Blocker work with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.? Click here to return to the FAQ page!

Super Ad Blocker supports Internet Explorer 5.x and above, Firefox 1.x-2.x, AOL and MSN.

Super Ad Blocker is not compatible with Firefox 3.x or Internet Explorer 8 at this time. We are working on finalizing our support for both Firefox 3.x and Internet Explorer 8, and it will be available in our next public release.

The best addons for Firefox 3.5 for blocking malicious scripts and ads are NoScript and Adblock Plus.

Install script not found -204, means it's not compatible with the latest version of Firefox.

The FileResearchCenter is a free service we provide in addition to SUPERAntiSpyware. Firefox 3 is a horrible system to support for developers - they have maintained ZERO backward support, unlike Microsoft which doesn't break everything each version. It's very frustrating to have to re-invent the wheel each time they do a release with no decent documentation and horribly commented code. As the director of our development, I place higher priority on zero-day threats than Firefox 3. We are working on the support - but must protect our users from ACTUAL threats that are coming out daily.

I agree. But NoScript is a bit annoying so if you want to could set it to Allow All Sites globally, where it still has some protection.

There is a reason why the NoScript option of "allow globally" has "dangerous" at the end of it.
There is a small learning curve but I think most catch on how to use NoScript.
Any "annoyance" is minor compared to the annoyance of finding and removing malware.

Sorry, I don't know but, an older Firefox should be compatible with new Firefox right? :thumbsup:

It's the Add-on which is not compatible with the latest Firefox. Every time Firefox has a major version update most if not all Add-ons have to be updated too by their developers.
