yep, the devs are looking there, not here. I'm a mod, not a dev.

Use extensions.adblockplus.please_kill_startup_performance to true in your about:config. It works. :)

That didn't work the last time I tried it in 2.6. Has this been fixed recently? There's no new info suggesting it has in https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/549.

Guest: Really? It worked for me on two of my Windows machines (XP Pro SP3 and 64-bit 7 EE SP1) with SeaMonkey v2.26.1 with ABP v2.6.2.

Works for some people, but as you can see from the comments on the ticket, some it doesn't work for everyone: https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/549 There's a claim that 2.2.4 is the latest that worked, but that's really old and I think it has worked after that.

Yeah, downgrading down to 2.2.4 seems very far. 2.6 is the version that introduced the issue by changing two major things. One of which "please_kill_startup_performance" supposedly reverts. but the change in how abp reads from disc is still there. and this is the part that needs to be "fixed" i guess.

The dev (Wladimir) said somewhere that the change in how/when the disc read is being made even (partially?) was in 2.5.1 but this is nothing I have noticed.(Not tested with latest version of Firefox, so it might have changed) and he have not elaborated on that part.



Older versions of ABP can be found here:

OK, I saw Flash ads (had Flash plugin blocker to prompt to play or not) that weren't blocked on betanews.com a few minutes ago after I exited and restarted SeaMonkey. It is still better than nothing.
