Some addons give a small purple screen about what is blocked; how can I stop this screen from appearing?

I'm using adblock, adblock popup, better privacy, ghostery, no-script. Sometimes this purple screen, on the right side of the screen, almost on top, is very big, and blocking text. I can click it away, but it keeps returning. Is there a way to shut off the appearance of this screen?

Thanks allready, J.Koopman

I use NoScript, and it uses a bar along the bottom, so it's probably one of the others.

Some extensions provide a toolbar icon or Tools menu entry allowing you to adjust how they work.

In other cases, you can use the Options button on the Add-ons page for that extension:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

If you figure out how to tame it, can you post back with the answer? Other users often find these threads in web searches, and it could be helpful to them.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

If this is from one of the installed extensions then you either need to check the settings in that extension or disable/uninstall the extension and consider to contact its developer for advice.
