Adblock Plus 0.5.9.2

http://bene.sitesled.com/install.htm


New Features:
  1. Using XPaths to find DIVs now. Can add additional elements to the "adblock.elemtypes" preference like this "//div|//table|//span".

Fixes:
  1. Fixed Adblock to work with trunk builds.
  2. Fixed an issue where when Clear Private Data on shutdown was enabled, Firefox would not close.
  3. Fixed an issue where sometimes the last item couldn't be selected.
  4. Fixed an issue where after choosing to edit a filter and not selecting it, it would not finish being in edit mode when another filter is selected.
  5. Fixed hide globally still taking effect over whether ad hiding was enabled.

Known Issues:
  1. Doesn't install on Netscape 8.
  2. Always uses en-US locale on Mozilla, see Bug 216489.
  3. Site blocking doesn't display replacement html page (from official). Temporary fix displays an alert box instead.
  4. DIVs will intermittently not be listed or blocked using trunk builds, see Bug 300065.
  5. Adblock causes http://www.howardforums.com/ to stall for a long time.

NB: If Firefox stalls for a long time when loading pages or you experience crashes and have the session saver extension installed then try disabling the "Check DIV Elements" preference.
