did you try using only ABP and not any other extension / heavy plugin ?

the devs are working these days to remove this kind of issue


however you could try a new firefox profile

First: Sorry for my bad English!

Same to me! I can't find the symbol, but in "Extras" - "Add-Ons" - "Erweiterungen" (I don't know the exact english phrase ... sorry) ABP is in first position. When I click on it, I find only "Deaktivate" or "Delete", no "Properties". So I'm clicking on the corresponding homepage, which will be opened in a new tab. Going back to the Add-On-tab and deleting ABP 2.3.2. In that tab I have to click on another item, then it is fully disappeared. Now, going back to tab of the hp of ABP. I install it and it works again. Closing FF, open it again, ... Same procedure!

With a fewer version of ABP it works fine!

FF-version: 24.0
Other Add-Ons: ColorfulTabs 19.9, DownloadHelper 4.9.21, Microsoft Net Framework Assistant 0.0.0, ProxTube 1.5.2 and WOT 20130924

It is not a good opportunity for me to activate a new profile!

What could heöp WITHOUT building a new profile?

Thank You very much ...

if your problem is the icon you can not see , then install the last development version:
devbuilds/adblockplus/00latest.xpi

No, it is not the missing icon! I find it, when I re-install ABP in the way described above.

ABP won't work, when I restart FF, and there's no icon. I find ABP aktive in the Add-On-Subfolder, but it doesn't work. There are 3 opportunities to click: "Einstellungen" (properties), "Deaktivieren" (de-activate) and "Entfernen" (delete). When I click on "Einstellungen", there is no chance to change the filter(s), but to de-activate and to delete. So in my opinion ABP is not able to get the filter(s) when restarting FF?!

if nothing works you could backup the old profile and try also a new profile to see the effects

I found that advertisements were still popping up after installing ADBP as well. I'm not sure if this is your dilemma, but I went Tools>Add-Ons>Extensions>Options (in the Ad Block Plus extension)>Filter Preferences
Under filter preferences there's a box near the bottom that says "Allow some non-intrusive advertising". Uncheck the box, close it, and it should work fine after that.

Read all this and tried all suggestions made. Nothing worked. Adblock just doesn't work anymore.
