Re: adblock not working
Working fine for me on Win 7 laptop.
Hubby having major problems on Win 8. Firefox is running at snails pace.
Better if I turn off Adblock.
Any ideas how to sort this out as I really really hate ads.

Re: adblock not working
Hello Adblock,
I used ABP forever and never had any problems. But after a crash I can't get the definition page to load. The first dialog box said that the ABP download was successful. Bu the second one came with this dialog box:
"The address wasn't understood
protocol (abp) isn't associated with any program.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
I'm on a HP machine.
Running Windows Vista Business
Ran 2.00 GB
Operating System 32 bit
Thanks for all you do,
Al Sniff

Re: adblock not working
I've had ADBlock Plus for Chrome for over a year now and loved it, the greatest thing to have for an add-on. For over a month now I've been getting some ads in webpages, facebook, and I haven't even been to Youtube for almost a month because I get commercials when I start a video. If I wanted commercials, I'd watch TV or listen to the radio, which I got the new Dish Hopper so I can FF through them. Seems everyone with a great invention always finds a way to screw it up later on. Is there any way I can get rid of this update and go back to before some monkey threw a monkey-wrench in the whole thing? I've even re-installed Chrome and ADBlock. The update is the problem...

check your enabled subscriptions ==> right click ABP icon, options, see enabled subscriptions. I guess you have no active subscription
Re: adblock not working
thank you I just installed this and it fixed the problem. But google gave me a working mirror:V@no wrote:Until devs fix this issue, here is a simple addon that fixes it by disabling and then enabling ABP on startup:

Re: adblock not working
Seems, I figured out the problem of Adblock Plus not properly getting loaded:
If you use a Master-Password for your included password-manager, ABP has troubles to load properly. Don't know if it solves it for everyone, but I had to state it here .

Re: adblock not working
I, also have been having a problem with ads all of a sudden! Would it help if I could undo the latest adblock update? Anyone know?
Re: adblock not working
Check you filter lists (click ABP icon, filter preferences, see if the lists are still there and correctly downloaded, no errors)
Otherwise reset firefox and reinstall ABP.
