Adblock Plus doesn't work anymore. Help?

Post by thewayshemoves »

Ok, so out of the blue Adblock Plus just stopped working today. For no reason. It's still enabled, it's been updated. I restarted Firefox and it still doesn't work. I rebooted the computer and that didn't work, so I reinstalled Firefox. It's still not blocking ads even with the brand new install and new Adblock Plus download. I'm using the newest version of both Firefox and Adblock. Can anyone help me at all here? I don't know what else to do.

in addition to bare Adblock Plus, do you also have EasyList , and Easy Element subscriptions?
while you're at it, also get Element Hiding Helper !

No I don't have that, do I need them? Will that fix what's up? My friend said I needed to get like a blocklist or something, but I never did that before and it worked until last night.

Thank you, I feel pretty dumb now. I didn't get those before and it worked I guess my friend did it for me and I didn't know it. Thanks, though.

Ok it still doesn't work. I did all that, put on those ad-ons. Got a blocklist or whatever and put that there. I did what I could find to do and still nothing at all.

If you open the AdBlock Plus preferences, do you see any subscriptions listed there?

Try removing then readd the EasyList subscription.

Ok, so it works now. I was putting the filters on there without actually subscribing to the list. I figured it out. Sorry for wasting your time. Thank you for the help though, without this I'd just been sitting here staring at it.
