problem with answers.microsoft.com and ABP

Post by SueWitch »

On answers.microsoft.com at this link

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/out ... 6b2a741c6e

if ABP is either enabled or disabled by clicking on the APB icon and choosing disable on this site, even with a restart I am unable to leave a reply in the thread, a semi transparent white overlay covers the page. Only if I go to Firefox - add-ons - and completely disable ABP and restart Firefox am I able to leave a reply. Not certain if this is an ABP or MS problem.

Filters are easylist and adblock warning removal list
Firefox 55.0.3 32 bit
Windows 7.1 X64 HP

ABP version ?
What filter lists are you using in ABP ?

When did you get the overlay ?

Well, it's weird.
In FF 54 + the legacy ABP is working fine.

In FF 56 - even disabling the adblocker and restating FF - does not work.
Could be some FF regression due to the new extensions system.

You should report the issue to the bugzilla site:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi

Then report back here with the issue link.

Bugzilla commented - Please report the issue to the extension author. Thank you!

How do I do that?

They are wrong, it's another bug, read that thread again. However, it's FF bug.

I see what you mean, read through the bug someone thought it is a duplicate issue of, it does seem to be the same bug.
