I checked the Echofon add-on page at Mozilla – they seem to have upset a lot of people, and possibly not simply be the addition of the ads, but by the imposing way they did it, and without warning. A look at the list of modifications to the most recent version of Echofon showed the inclusion of ads as the last item in the list.įortunately, there’s a simple fix to defeat the ads – provided the Echofon folk don’t do something even more underhand. Then I realised that the content was completely irrelevant, and worse, was an unsolicited advert from an American company – as useless in Scotland as a chocolate teapot is to a tea addict.Ī quick check of all the available options showed that there was no choice offered, and that all option to block the ad-tweets had been removed. It didn’t look relevant, but sometimes I get retweets, and ignored it at first. When the latest Echofon update was installed, I initially thought they had just highlighted the latest tweet to arrive. It means I don’t have to check them as they pop up on-screen whenever something happens, and I can read the detail later. I’ve used it since it first appeared as Twitterfox, and it works well since I don’t use the social aspect of Twitter, and have it as an alert system for a few selected sources.

I don’t normally ‘shoot first and ask questions later‘, but when I finally realised that Echofon’s writers were taking the P out their Firefox add-on users, I hit the Remove button before I thought about how to deal with consequences.
