[Fixed] "Adblock Plus has been updated" page won't go away

Post by MikeEBean »

Today I began receiving a page saying "Adblock Plus has been updated." I've clicked on most of the links, but the page reappears each time I start Chrome. I don't know if this is a glitch, or if it will disappear after a certain date. But I would expect that once a user has seen the page it should go away (assuming it's a legitimate page.) Or at least make it clear on the page when we can expect it to disappear. Thanks!

I'm using Chrome under Linux Ubuntu 12.10.

We have this problem on our two PCs, and are now using Simple Adblock. I hope this is fixed soon.

Me too. It won't go away, especially if I untick to show so some ads. If I wanted ads, I wouldn't be using an Adblocker. My subscriptions also revert to defaults too.

I prefer using Adblock Plus due to being so good on Firefox (where I still use it) but for now I've disabled it and am using Adblock by chromeadblock.com. Adblock Plus is currently broken for me.

wonder how many thousands of other people have this issue but don't have the time or don't care enough to report it
yeah, it's irritating, this updated page on Chromium

Same here. It keeps showing firstrun.html page. Reinstalling the extension didn't help.

having the same issue, with both the 'first run' page and with subscriptions and custom filters reverting every time I reopen chrome. is there a way to revert to the previous version? this is just not functional.

Same problem here. ABP needs to fix this, or will loose all credibility.

you can be sure they are working to find a solution. Not all of us have this issue. I dont have this issue for example.

you can try to create a new profile and reinstall then ABP.
