AdBlock stays activated when disabled on a website

Post by Flash »

Hello everyone,

I am an AdBlock user since approximately 3 years, and I am very satisfied about it.

However some weeks ago I decided to disable AdBlock on several websites like YouTube (as a personal choice). Unfortunately I noticed a bug, which appear sometimes : the AdBlock icon becomes grey but still displays the number of blocked ads, and there isn't any ad on the page I am browsing. I have to go to Firefox settings, disable AdBlock completely, enable AdBlock again, actualize the page, and then AdBlock is really disabled on the website.

So I've decided to disable AdBlock permanently... I'm sorry about that because I would like to use it on most of the websites I am visiting but this bug is to handicapping for me, and it happens to frequently.

Hopping you will solve this issue and I will be able to continue to use AdBlock !

Thanks for reading
Bye !

Thanks for your insight! Is the issue still present when Firefox's tracking protection is disabled? See https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/fi ... g?3b2687e1
