I noticed that Screengrab (a firefox addon I use for screenshots of full webpages) started offering advertisements. While the ads offered are opt-in, the fact that they’re just lurking in the code bothered the hell out of me. I understand the guy needs the money, as he has a sick kid, but injecting advertisements is not the way to go about it.
I therefore reverse-engineered Screengrab and have made a fresh XPI without the ads. In fact, all references to advertisements have been removed, including preferences.

- Restart
Verification
In case you’re interested in what I changed, download WinMerge and 7-zip, then extract the two XPIs with 7-zip. Compare the two directories with WinMerge.
This version is based on Screengrab (Fix Version) v0.99.04c.
