Anyone tried this with 10.5.8 and Safari 4.0.4?

OS 10.6.1, Safari 4.03
Pithhelmet 3.0b2 downloads, unpacks and proceeds to install "for all users".

Safari starts automatically, but there is no Pithhelmet tab in the preferences window, and ads are not blocked. Tried re-installing three times with similar effects, and no Pithhelmet installed, apparently.

Thanks

I have missed it, since it's the only ad blocker I know of that works silently in the background and doesn't pop up questions every few seconds. I was sad when the previous beta worked neither with Safari 32 or 64 bit, but this version works correctly with my 64 bit Safari. I will wait patiently for the smoothing of the jagged edges and the addition of a proper preference pane, I understand that this is a lot of work for Mike Solomon, and I want to congratulate him on the great effort he has made so far, thank you Mike.
