Ads on Yahoo not being blocked

Post by Tomkeen »

Hello,

Recently having some trouble when I go to yahoo.com. I read through the news headlines and every few headlines there is an ad there. If I right click on it I don't see an option to block those ads. Can anyone help me figure out why they aren't being blocked and what I can do. It's a bit annoying to be reading a news headline and then realize it's a advertisement.

Problem is right at http://www.yahoo.com

I am on firefox 20.0.1 and Adblock Plus 2.2.3. I am subscribed to fanboy's adblock list and I did manually update the filters just today (and then I restarted firefox) if that matters at all.

Thank you,
Tomkeen.

Hi,

Unfortunately, your ABP and Firefox versions are quite outdated and we can no longer support these versions. In addition to the Fanboy's list, can you also try subscribing to EasyList? Hopefully, this should help with the ads.
