Adblock Plus slow to initialise

Post by 6to6plus »

As far as I can make out Adblock Plus released an update to coincide with the release of FF29.

Neither my XPMCE desktop PC nor my Win 7 Starter Ed. netbook updated to FF29 until many days after the actual release date of FF29 but I think Adblock Plus did update silently as soon as it's new version became available.

Even though both my machines are now on FF 29.0.1 and Adblock Plus 2.6.1 Ablock Plus is so slow to initialise/load/start, i.e the icon does not appear on the toolbar, that my homepage loads with all the ads showing. Once the icon does appear and I do a page refresh then ads disappear and thereafter all is well, surfing to new pages is OK, the ads are hidden. It's only the initial start up.

Also, your version of Firefox is ancient. It exposes your system to a ton of security vulnerabilities.
