Some youtube videos do not load in Slimjet

I can usually play them in firefox but I prefer to use slimjet. For a fraction of second the video starts and then an error message appears: An error occurred. Please try again playback id............ Trying again does not make any difference. I have tried disabling the addon blockers and popup bloc...

Re: Add blocker

I have just noticed that in the menu under add blocker there is the option to untick "enable adblocker". I do not know if I install another addblocker, that will also be turned off. I doubt it but do not know.

Re: Grabbing Streaming Videos

I wonder if you could please revisit my question? It is actually a big problem. I am finding that the pop up window for downloads is not clickable on any of the boxes that should start the download (same problem for the saving of passwords with the password manager)! Instead of finding the underlyin...

Re: Is there a drop down menu for the installed Icons

Thank you for replying. If you click on the menu icon and imagined that what dropped down was a list of clickable icons for installed extensions, that is what I was trying to ask about. I looked at a few of the extension managers but they do not provide for the moving of all the extension icons into...

Is there a drop down menu for the installed Icons

I have 24 very small icons representing various installed extensions and other icons such as the history and bookmarks. Unfortunately they are too small for easy recognition. The text only showing when my mouse hovers over one. I would prefer not to have the icons showing in the toolbar. Instead I w...

Add blocker

I am not doing well with the add blocker that you supply with slimjet. I have installed the addblocker removal list, the English sites and the Japanese sites. I still get: Site Notification that i should turn off my addblocker. Popup adverts which will not close and instead take me to the off site l...

Re: Grabbing Streaming Videos

I have just unclicked the extension and assume that is what you meant. It did not seem to make any difference to the url that needs to be called to download the streaming video. If I put the video's url into the address bar the full video starts running. Put it into flareget or try to download it vi...

Thus instead of downloading a large video file I get a very small html file, if i try to download the video from within slimpjet. FBdown is restricted in the number of si...
