Piratebay keeps popping its ads on a new tab in firefox everytime I click on a magnet link to download a torrent. How do I block it?

If you still use the old ABP (deprecated) for FF, just switch to the last dev build (which will be the official one for FF 57)

With FF 57, mozilla will use only the new extensions framework (Webextensions). So, just open the link above and install the new ABP.

Hi mapx,

Do you mean to say that I should download Version 2.99.0.1838beta ?
