I have no problems with Adblock plus. Any ad that it misses I simply add to the block list and it's gone.

16.0.3

But I've never had problems with adblock plus since what, Firefox v4? Can't remember that far back. Do you subscribe to one of the blocking subscriptions with updated lists of ads? Without that adblock plus doesn't do anything.

As I said, problem is only for those using between 9 to 13, which explains why you dont have the issue.

As for subscriptions, the bug basically wipes your subs whenever you relaunch your browser. The dev knows about the issue, and apparently a fix will be out tomorrow.

Just bitching because I didn't know how fucking full of adverts the Internet was. I had become so used to the 'quiet'.

Hehe I feel ya, been using adblock for a long time aswell. Went to a friend to explain some websites and such and then I saw for the first time how much crap of ads were on there. Needless to say adblock got installed fast on his pc.
