    Does anybody know whether there exists a version of Flashblock for FF2?
    This page http://flashblock.mozdev.org/ is not clear to me, but I think it means that Flashblock is not meant to work with FF2 (yet?)

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    It is compatible, the link on the left says it will work with FF from version 1.5 to 3.0a, this includes version 2.0
    I know it works because I have it already
    Awesome extension

    You just have to install the leftmost version (1.5.something). Firefox's autoupdater can't figure out that if you have the 1.3.something version, it has to upgrade to the 2.0-compatible one, so you have to uninstall it and then install the new, compatible version.
