[SOLVED] stop showing flashgot media button on gmail

Post by LL25255252 »

Flashgot media blinks after every entrance to gmail. It "finds" a small 8kb mp3 file - gmail chat message.
I uploaded this 8kb mp3 here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw-lUC ... sp=sharing

So, can you please stop showing flashgot media button on this case ?

Thanks in advance.

Tested on a new fresh firefox profile
Flashgot 1.5.6.11
Greasemonkey 3.0

4 months have passed. Am I the only one who wants this issue to be fixed ? ;)
Tested on a fresh/clean Firefox profile
Flashgot 1.5.6.12.1
Firefox 39

I'm adding here another Issue dealing with Flashgot-Media and Gmail. This time it only happens if you also install "Mouseover Popup Image Viewer" userscript.

I actually saw 3 items come through (though I heard nothing, XP), of the form:

> https://ssl.gstatic.com/chat/sounds/*.mp3

Could something like Adblock Plus block that (& so wouldn't be picked up by FlashGot)?

(Virtually never use Gmail's web interface, instead POP.)

@therube, many,many thanks for your suggestion. :) :) :) :) :)
I succeeded blocking these 3 small mp3 files with uBlock Origin addon.

- Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... ck-origin/
(uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill (gorhill) is the the new and better ad blocker - easier on CPU and memory).

- Open Gmail
- goto uBlock's request log page (see the arrow in the screenshot)

- filter by Gmail and ".mp3"

Image

- click Create
- click reload to reload the gmail tab
- The result : flashgot media can't find these 3 mp3 files and therefore its blinking icon is not displayed.

This solution also solved my second issue (Gmail's info box NOT popping up - https://greasyfork.org/en/forum/discussion/3363/x ) :) :) :) :) :)
