Blocking in gMail's "New Look"

Post by Partok »

Good Morning,

This morning I got into my gMail and noticed that I could not read any of the emails I opened... the content simply wasn't there anymore! :?

So, after disabling all of my FF 8.0 extensions the emails came back. One-by-One I re-enabled my extensions. When I got to AdBlock Plus my text once again went away. I then reverted to the "Old Look" of gMail and the content of emails was gone there too.

To double-check I again disabled Adblock Plus 1.3.10 and restarted FF 8.0 and all my email content is once again visible.

Now, I know what your thinking " He must've created one of those *.* filters in AdBlock Plus" but honestly I have NOT. I wouldn't know how. :roll: I just installed AdBlock Plus years ago and FF has been keeping it up to date for me. (I hope).

So, can anyone tell me what the heck is going on? This is overall my favorite plugin/extension, or whatever it calls itself.

Thanks in advance for any help offered. :) - Rob

To fix the Gmail issue, try updating your filter subscription(s):

In Firefox, you can do that by clicking on the red "ABP" icon -> "Preferences..." -> In the menu: "Filters" -> "Update all subscriptions"

In Chrome go to your extensions ( chrome://extensions/ ) -> Adblock Plus for Chrome -> "Options" -> "Update Now"

If this did not fix the problem, please tell us what filter subscription(s) you are using - all of them if you use more than 1. (common examples: EasyList, Fanboy's List, ...)


BTW: This is not an ABP bug, it's a filter list issue, moved to the corresponding forum section.

I had this issue as well and when I disabled ABP it corrected it. So I came here and saw Ares2's post and tried updating my filter subscriptions and this corrected the issue. BTW I am using Fanboy's List (English).

Thank you!!! I was going crazy trying to figure out why Adblock was killing all my emails.

If you can force an update the subscriptions, let me know if its fixed. (if it doesn't send through a Adblock Plus report)

Thanks

He already confirmed that it worked after updating your list, see the text you quoted. :wink:

If you mean dutchblock ( http://dutchmega.nl/dutchblock/list.txt ) then you should seriously consider removing that list, it hasn't been updated for more than 4 months now and it contains slow and problematic filter rules.

I can recommend DutchAdblockList+EasyList, but it's of course your own decision: en/subscriptions

Fanboy's list is also blocking messages in gmail's old look. Updating the filters did work in the old look too. Posting just in case people think updating filters only works in the new look.
