Firefox 13 - Downloading Adblock filters not possible

[Wootson]

This evening I downloaded the latest firmware for the Pandora and installed it correctly. After booting and configuring I configured my Wi-Fi correctly and was able to visit anything on teh Interwebz. Then I downloaded Firefox 13 via the almighty PNDstore and installed Adblock Plus as an Add-on. While I can add filters, they can never be updated to the latest version. Correction: the filters cannot be downloaded at all.


For some weird reason I have never been able to download the Adblock Plus filters for as long as I have my Pandora. Is my device cursed or am I doing something wrong here?


I click on the Adblock Plus icon in the Add-on Bar, then click on filter preferences, then add a filter subscription, and it displays the message "(Failed, download failure)" behind it. When I click on "Actions" and then on "Update filters" it quickly displays "Downloading..." and after less than a second it displayes "(Failed, download failure)" again.


Anobody can help with this? I think I got the filters working with setting up Firefox Sync once (syncing my Desktop and Pandora), but I don't want any work-around, it must work out of the box.

If it 'must work out of the box' I guess you had better fix it yourself.


I'd offer a workaround, if 1) I had my Pandora to find one, and 2) it wasn't good enough.

What I mean by "it must work out of the box" is that on any other device this does work out of the box without manual adjustments. One simply installs the add-on, selects the filters and they automatically download/update. This works on all devices I have tried Firefox on, except the Pandora. Clearly something is not configured right in the .PND file or the add-on itself maybe. I don't know any way to manually adjust this, and I also cannot find any posts with this issue, or a manual which I can follow so I can make some adjustments myself.


Would be very handy if a solution would be added to the official Pandora Wiki.

If it is an https issue, try making the change in http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5014-firefox-60/page__st__80__p__100598#entry100598

Indeed, that https fix worked for me. I couldn't even access gmail before I did that.

Well the good new is I intend having that option set off by default in the next build...

I opened "about:config" in Firefox URL bar, searched for "security.enable_tls" and set it to "false". Adblock Plus is installed and can now update the correct filters successfully. Thanks for the help!


And whoever is managing the Firefox .PND should add this as a default configuration. B)
