check your subscriptions ==> click ABP icon, filter preferences ==> "filter subscriptions" tab: do you see easylist enabled ? is it without errors / failures ?

Hello,

This happened to me as well. AdBlock Plus stopped working suddenly. AdBlock Plus version is 2.6.8, updated on March 11. Firefox version is 36.0.1, updated on March 06. I solved the issue by adding EasyList as a filter.
But can anyone tell me what happened? It was working like a charm until recently. When AdBlock Plus was last updated, was the EasyList deleted automatically? Or maybe the AdBlock Plus didn't come with that EasyList when I first installed it? Could have it blocked ads without it? Anyone else experiencing the issue?
Any help will be very much appreciated!

Thank you so much,

-install ABP from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
-subscribe easylist from an alternative server (see easylist mirror): https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/
