Same problem here

ABP resets settings every time FF starts and Web Console doesn't show anything

I can share my settings if the devs need them

Attempt with new profile in firefox. On the off chance that functions admirably => could be your present profile is degenerate.

Disabling & re-enabling from firefox settings didn't help me, but thank you for the suggestion anyway. I still get the "installation successful, filters have been lost & reset" page every time I open the browser.

But I don't think I'm going to risk losing everything to create a new profile when 1) people have said elsewhere that doesn't help get rid of the problem either and 2) it flies in the face of logic in assuming that all these users' profiles got corrupted in the same way & are all showing the same behavior at the same time, yet with only this extension. :cry:

There are quite a number of factors that could contribute to performance issues on your browser and increase RAM usage. For example, having several extensions, open browsers and tabs. Take a look at Firefox Task Manager to see what tabs or extensions are slowing down the browser and then try reducing the number of open tabs and windows and disable extensions not in use.

Hope this helps!

Hi all! This problem was reported here the first time in April 2019. I have the same issue. Is it true that there is no solution so fat how to fix this problem? Thanks!

Hi @fred-erik Mozilla is still working on resolving things on their end. However, a workaround for resolving this in the meantime is to create a Firefox profile. You can find instructions for doing so here. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... e_profiles. Let us know if this helps! 

Thanks

I have created several (too many) new profiles but the issue ALWAYS returns.
Here we are - a couple of years after the initial complaints and you guys haven't figure it out, yet?

Too often, the errors that I get are in Outlook.com.
Here are some recent errors:
A script from the extension “Adblock Plus - free ad blocker” is running on this page, and making Firefox unresponsive.

It may be busy, or it may have stopped responding permanently. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if it will complete.

Script: moz-extension://2d081e24-7d8f-…8f2bf43b237/include.preload.js:1950314018
