"Show number of ads blocked in icon" setting lost on reboot

Post by c3h4ohcooh3 »

Steps to reproduce:

1. In Adblock Plus Settings>>Advanced, click check box next to "Show number of ads blocked in icon"

Actual result 1: the checkbox does not untick, however the ABP icon correctly ceases to show the number of ads blocked.
Expected result 1: the checkbox should untick when clicked.

2. Close Firefox
3. Reboot Windows
4. Open Firefox
5. Navigate to a site with ads

Actual result 2: the ABP icon shows the number of ads blocked.
Expected result 2: the ABP icon should not show the number of ads blocked.

6 Open Adblock Plus Settings>>Advanced.

Actual result 3: the check box next to "Show number of ads blocked in icon" is ticked.
Expected result 3: the check box next to "Show number of ads blocked in icon" should be unticked.

Hi there!

Thanks so much for reporting this! Though I wasn't able to reproduce on my end, I have seen similar reports. We'll look into this further. In the meantime, some users have found success by removing Adblock Plus using the instructions in this link https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/un ... s?5de59f86, and reinstalling via https://adblockplus.org. Let us know if this helps!

Thanks
