Adblock seemingly not working at all

Post by Octoputin »

I recently reinstalled Firefox and Adblock and now it's just seemed like it's no longer working. I'm getting YouTube ads, I'm getting ads in google when I search things, and most annoyingly when i'm brown a site of I click a link or search something on the website an ad will replace come up in place of that website.

Be sure that you installed "Adblock Plus" (will have ABP in the icon); try uninstalling whatever extension you had, and going to the ABP main page at https://adblockplus.org/ to install it.

(There were once two legitimate ad-blocking extensions without the "Plus" in their names: The first was the predecessor to ABP, and it became obsolete long ago, and the other was an experimental port of AdBlock for Chrome, which was since abandoned; there is no legitimate ad-blocker for Firefox called just "Adblock" with any capitalization.)
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
