Hm, I don't know Adblock. I use Adblock+ 0.7.1, and when I middle
click the icon in the status bar, Adblock+ is turned on/off. When
I right click the icon, I see http://www.myimg.de/?img=FirefoxAdblockRightMouseButton.png

What do you actually mean with "3rd mouse button"? On a right handed
mouse, is this the right button or the middle button?

That's supposed to be from Firefox?

Never seen this before. I only now the small Adblock "Tabs" shown on
Flash "movies". Eg. on http://www.myimg.de/?img=FirefoxAdblockTabs58e.gif
on the left hand side of the screen over the "Vorwarnung" or to the
left of "powered by RTL".

I don't know Flashblock. I use only Adblock+, no need for Flashblock.

Actually, I'd like Opera, if it had a useable adblocker (useable = 
Adblock+).
