AdBlock Plus Stopped Working

Post by joefromsd »

Folks, it just stopped this morning with my Firefox 57.0 which I've had for a month or so. What can I do? On every site I'm seeing ads the AdBlock icon says Enabled on this site.

I forgot how annoying all the adds are!!

Remove the checkmark from "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" in the ABP menu.

If that doesn't help, try adding additional filters: https://filterlists.com/

Hi,
The new Ad Block Plus is really hard to fathom
& hardly any "feature" actually works yet.
Have you tried opening it & adding the "site/s" to the "White list"?

You might like to ask at their forum?

(Always choose the "Custom" Install.)

Try uBlock Origin instead. MUCH, MUCH better!!! You won't regret it.

I have AdBlock Ultimate, even before upgrading to FF 57, which I feel is better then any adblock type of extension. But as always, it's a matter of preference. 8-)
