After reading this I installed uMatrix and it apparently works well

am stuck, dunno what to do?

I never get any other display or see an icon in the browser as is
mentioned.

This is with Fedora 24 and xfce updated this morning.

Any suggestions?
I've been running umatrix for a whole two days, so no expert.  And I
get the icon in the tool bar.  That's the key to being able to enable
and disable things.  I can't find it now, but I remember there was a
preference selection for putting an icon in the toolbar.

Once you have the icon, clicking it brings up a grid / matrix, and you
just click on the grid square with the feature you want to enable, click
the enable / disable at the top left, then click the page refresh.
Done!

Found the preferences, they are reached by clicking on the asterisk
like icon in the upper left of the dialog opened by the toolbar icon.
Are you sure it isn't there?  A green or gray square? Try removing and
re-installing it.

I don't display the icons , normally text only, and use a color blind extension for Firefox.

I changed temporarily to icons and found the uMatrix icon and now have it visible as text in my usual preferred display. You provided the bit of information I've been looking for for two days, dumb?

Now I can play with it and see if it will let me view the Weatherunderground radar image for Norfolk, actually Wakefield, Va. I also had trouble viewing my ISP data usage numbers since I have to stay under 25 GB per month I track that daily. Now I'll play with it and see what else it blocks that I need. For the most part it shows what I want.

Thanks for the help,

Bob
