[INVALID] Patterns-XXX.ini files AND Counter

With ABP 2.1.2 there are two disadvantages:

- Many Patterns-XXX.ini files are created, which remain on the computer. I have to delete these files manually.
- The counter of the use of filters does not reset when closing FF.

With ABP 2.0.3, everything works fine.

(I work with windows xp + FF 15.0.1)

Not a bug
those .ini files are used to back up filters in case you want to go back to a earlier version
you can make ABP forget the number of hits.

go to about:config
extensions.adblockplus.patternsbackups change value from 5 to 0
extensions.adblockplus.savestats double click to change to false.
