Adblock stuck in downloading for Firefox

Post by Blank »

I'm trying to get the Adblock add-on for Firefox, but it won't install. The green loading bar is full, but all it says is a few seconds remaining. It's been this way for about ten minutes. I've tried restarting the download multiple times and I come across the same issue.

or different DNS (those google for example: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

or
go to
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... lock-plus/

from another browser, download the file (xpi extension file)
go to the addons firefox page
install the addon from a file (indicating the xpi downloaded file)

All of the suggestions you gave lead back to the same problem. I don't know what you mean by a new Firefox profile, but I've tried the others, and they don't work.
