The temporary fix does solve the problem. Without it ABP can't be used. The errors are there but ABP functions. If you do not want to see the errors, remove ABP completely and put up with the ads.


A new Dev Release was done today and it brings back the problem. I would advise against using it.

You just need to reapply the workaround, the new version just overwrites the file during install.

Just tried new dev build of ABP. What it was suppose to fix?

The lastest dev build adblockplus-1.3a.20100816 was supposed to fixed the 302 errors and redirects on Firefox 4.0b4pre I thought, but also breaks WebMail Notifer 2.5.5 extension which works if adblockplus-1.3a.20100816 is disabled.(Note: Using both extensions versions I mentioned above work on Firefox 3.6.8 with no problems.)

From link given by Alex: Bug 23092 "Mozilla's Bug 546606 - Make redirect API async breaks Adblock Plus".

YourProfilePath\extensions\{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}\modules\ContentPolicy.jsm
in line 395
under

// nsIChannelEventSink interface implementation

add this

asyncOnChannelRedirect: function(oldChan, newChan, flags, redirectCallback) {
this.onChannelRedirect(oldChan, newChan, flags);
redirectCallback.onRedirectVerifyCallback(0);
},

so it looks like

// nsIChannelEventSink interface implementation
//
asyncOnChannelRedirect: function(oldChan, newChan, flags, redirectCallback) {
this.onChannelRedirect(oldChan, newChan, flags);
redirectCallback.onRedirectVerifyCallback(0);
},
onChannelRedirect: function(oldChannel, newChannel, flags)
{

that should fix the move problems with ABP :)

This suggestion DID fix ABP for me (using the 1.3a.20100726 build), but without breaking WebMail Notifier 2.5.5.

Until the extension incompatibility is fixed with WebMail Notifer 2.5.5 and ABP on Firefox 4.0b4pre, I will suggest using the Mod version of ABP 1.3a20100726 build or reapply the fix suggested by Alex mentioned above to ABP 1.3a.20100816.

The build [1.3a.20100726] did not fix the redirects or 302 errors. The Fix above^ does. Using :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b4pre) Gecko/20100816 Minefield/4.0b4pre

I did not see your post at the time. Oh and at the ABP forum I would use the ABP Mod if it was in English. ](*,)

PS: You mentioned in your post that it works in Fx 3.6.8. I am not using that.

PlainOldFavorites 1.1 Beta is a dev release that works for me in Firefox 4.0b3. It can be downloaded from the developer's site at:
http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/

(The stable version, 1.0.3, does not have the XPCOM fixes and therefore does not work for me on Firefox 4.0b2 and later.)

Hi!
Does anyone know what causes this? Its a button with garbage that does nothing.

Something else. Is it just me or the l10n nightlies really can't update themselves?
