I filed this bug upstream: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20330 "The instructions on: http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation3.html apparently don't work for galeon 2.0.7 build with xulrunner-1.9.0.4 according to this post on galeon-user: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20080830135041.75bce43e%40szpak&forum_name=galeon-user it's because xulrunner no longer looks at ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/chrome/userContent.css" The developer said that this could be fixed in galeon https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20330#c2 "As far as I know Galeon does not have an extension system so there doesn't seem to be a workaround available. What Camino does is to use the nsIStylesheetService to load a CSS file that contains the Flashblock bindings. A Galeon developer could do the same."
Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
