AdBlock Plus eliminates menu items and statusbar items

When I activate Adblock Plus, several menu items disappear and statusbar items from other plugins also disappear, not to mention the ADP icon which is nowhere to be found despite that I have it checked on the ADP menu. It's not necessary to uninstall ADP, simply disabling it and all these things come back. I've reported this to mozdev.org, but upon reading other people's comments it seems I'm not the only one with the problem

The AdblockPlus support form is here: <br />

  • How to enable AdBlock plus

    Just downloaded adblock plus from safari extensions and it isn't working, though extensions are enabled and it shows as downloaded on the extensions page.
    Not sure what to do, any advice?  Thank you ~

    OK, problem solved.  There was a '.lock' file in the .mozilla directory that semed to be preventing the browser from restarting properly. Once that was deleted everything worked fine.  Also, I just updated to Adblock Plus version 1.0
    Thanks Skottish and ozar!

  • Adblock plus pop-up addon 0.9.1 slows down browsing

    yesterday i've updated firefox to version 29, and yesterday night i installed adblock plus pop-up addon and today pages, and games run very slow. i've disabled adblock plus and it seemes to work as before, but, the problem is that i find adblock plus very useful and i wouldn't like to remove it. what can i do about it? aside from disabling adblock plus, i've cleared cookies, bookmarks, history, etc. i don't think i should use the safe mode of firefox because i'd still be asked to remove and enable every other addon.
    so, is there a way to keep adblock plus and make firefox run like before the update?

    scratch this. i found the solution, or, at least, for me. a heavenly thought gave me the ideea to start a drive wipe with ccleaner. and it works all very fine now, including windows, firefox, etc.
    so, if you have an issues like this, start ccleaner->tools->drive wiper->wipe ,free space only, -> and hit wipe.
    hope it helps others.

  • Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations

    2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
    searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates.  The only items visible in start
    menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
    folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
    for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
    This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
    have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
    Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
    the start menu items.
    On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
    the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
    some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
    I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
    So to summarize in a bulleted format:
    Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
    exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
    Investigation and Troubleshooting:
    Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
    Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
    Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
    No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
    No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
    Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
    System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
    Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
    System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
    No windows updates were initiated on any servers
    Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
    About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
    SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
    Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
    Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
    I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
    about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
    1. Run Troubleshooter
    Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
    2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
    Create a new library
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
    3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
    Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

  • How did a Yahoo! item suddenly appear in my menu bar, and how can I get rid of it?

    I connected to the internet as usual to find that the menu item Yahoo! appears as described above.
    As I has lost all my previous tabs (from doing some offline housekeeping), I had to manually establish access to my favoutire tabs.
    When tryign to establish contact with Gmail, Yahoo kept intercepting my requests and presenting me with a doce 404.
    Even when I tried other sites, the same problem occurred.
    I eventually managed to overcome this issue, but I am still concerned that Yahoo! appears to be taking over as my search engine.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    HI there
    Thank you for trying to help me. You're going to think I'm really thick, but I can't seem to do a screen shot.
    I pressed the command and the 3 button, plus what I believe is the shift key, Hat is the one on the left hand side, with an arrow on it, which you use for a capital letter yeah?
    But nothing happens.
    Also I can't see what you are reffering to when you say click onto the camera icon? I can't see any such icon.
    Sorry to be so useless.
    I have just noticed that it is obviously connected with the sound. It has a row of boxes undeneath the logo, and as you increase the volume, the boxes fill up from left to right, and the logo flutters at the same time.
    have alogitec amplifier and speaker system connected to it, and have just noticed that the sun logo looks very similar to the Logitec symble/Logo.
    Is that of any help please?

  • Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications errors.

    Starting Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications R12 errors.
    Here is some general config information that is suspected to be the issue.
    1. Running Oracle Applications R12 over HTTPS.
    2. Running Discoverer Plus/Viewer over HTTP.
    3. Calling menu item that calls a function to start Plus/Viewer.
    Function Definition called by the menu item is listed blow.
    Properties Tab: Type=SSWA jsp function Context Dependence=Responsibility
    Form Tab: Parameters="mode=DISCO"
    Web HTML Tab: HTML Call=OracleOasis.jsp
    Fact: Starting Discoverer Plus using a URL works fine in the browser. The login page comes up and I can look in to Plus.
    The page that dose a redirection to start the Plus applet or Viewer web page fails with this error in IE 7.
    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
    Most likely causes:
    You are not connected to the Internet.
    The website is encountering problems.
    There might be a typing error in the address.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
    When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

  • Question about The SQL*Plus menu item

    The help doc says we can use SQL*Plus commands. So I open it from the SQL*Plus menu item under Tools. After I gave the installed SQL*Plus location and file name, SQL*Plus was opened by itself asking for a password. The question is are all SQL*Plus commands are supported/will be supported in Raptor? Thanks.

  • Implementing menu items and saving state in my app

    Hello
    I'm a new user to the forums, but have a little bit of java programming experience.
    currently i'm writing some business applications, one of which is a payroll system. The target audience is end-user bookkeepers so i am planning for a GUI front end.
    My first question relates to how programs save their state. for example, each month the bookkeeper will launch the program and add the next months payments, or he/she will open the program to fix a mistake. In general how do programs like word, excel (or anything) save and load files to work with? I was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then the user could save to it, which would add the new work.
    Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there some premade classes i can just use in my programs as well that would be me this funtionality? This kindof relates to my first question about saving and opening. Further, it seems there are two GUI libraries to consider - either SWT or Swring. Eclipse plugins are written in SWT (from what i have heard). Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?
    I think that's it for now. If anybody can provide me with advice i woudl be most grateful, as i'm at a bit of a standstill with my development.
    thanks.

    the user could save to it, which would add the new work. It sounds more like you are talking about saving the data instead of state--save in a database for mass and long term storage. Simple state info can be easily save in a database also or in a bean or text file.

The specifics of what happens when the individual menu items are selected are left up to the programmer.
    If you are looking for prebuilt menubars with code attached to perform common functions, then I do not know of any included in Java.

  • Equal Space between Menu Items and Drop Down Menü left aligned not possible?

    It seems like I can either have equal spacing between the horizontal menu items and the drop down menu will show up centered , or I say the menu items should be of equal size, and then drop down will be left aligned. Is there any way of having equal space AND left aligned drop down???? Thanks in advance!

    Hello Anjum,
    Thank you for reporting the issue. It seems to be a Bug and we have logged the same. Hopefully it will get fixed in coming releases.
    As of now we do not have any workaround for same. However once we have some workaround, we will definitely share it with you.

  • I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

    I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
    1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
    2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
    3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
    At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
    So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
    Thanks.

    To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
    Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

  • I just downloaded Firefox 4 and it does NOT look like it is supposed to look - My menu items are not in a single button, etc... as displayed in Step 2 of getting to know your browser on the welcome page for Mozilla Firefox 4. Can anyone help?

    This webpage [http://example.com http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/ ]shows what Firefox 4 should look like. My Firefox 4 does not have the menu items grouped and I have no app tab. All in all, my Firefox 4 is not what it should be... does anyone know why this might be and how I should go about fixing it? thanks :)

    To get the new UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • Why are iTunes, View, Window, and Help menu items disabled?

    I am frequently encountering an issue in iTunes 10.5 (141) where all the menu items in the iTunes, View, Window, and Help menus are disabled (greyed out). Why is this happening and can it be stopped?
    I've seen this issue on different Mac OS X 10.7.2 machines. It seems to occur during playlist manipulation, where I'm making new playlists, adding items to them and editing them and the items. In the worst cases, I'm forced to quit and restart iTunes, although I have to quit by using the context menu option in the Dock as the Quit option is disabled in the application.
    I'd appreciate any advice on workarounds for this that don't involve quitting and restarting iTunes.

    I'm also having the same issue.  It was happening with 10.5.1 and now still with 10.5.2.  I'm using a 2008 iMac running 10.6.8.  I do not use iTunes Match.  This seems to happen for no apparent reason i/o/w, I can't determine a pattern as to when it happens, but it occurs about once in every 10 times that iTunes is open and it seems to happen after it's been open for a while, but again, no particular pattern. 
    Sometimes, all the menu items are grayed out, and other times, 70% of the menu items are grayed out.  I can still use the other functionality in iTunes, but must must Quit from the dock (it quits gracefully and no Force Quit is necessary).  Relaunching restores eveything to normal for about a week. 
    I work with technical diagnostic issues and can usually pinpoint a problem, isolate an issue, or determine a pattern, but this one has me stumped. I thought 10.5.2 might fix it, but no.  Maybe 10.5.3?

  • Windows and icons are black, menu items are not showing correctly

    Hello!
    Well just doing my normal routine today browsing the Internet, watching videos on vlc, my computer suddenly started to glitch. Icons were disappearing, Safari turned black.
    So i did a restart but the problem is still there. I cant even choose the user properly because the avatars are not there it's just all dark gray. Remembering where my user avatar is, i do a click and type in my password and I do and able to get in to my system but all windows menu items and icons are black.
    Basically what I'm saying is the system seems to be working fine except for that I can't see the icons and windows properly displayed.
    I've already tried to reinstall of Mavericks hoping that it's a software thing. You guys think it's a problem with the graphic processor?
    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated thank you.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as certain other aspects of the configuration that may have a bearing on the problem. Don’t be alarmed by the apparent complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode, if possible. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. If you can only boot in safe mode, you can still use this procedure, but not all of it will work. Be sure to mention that in your reply, if you haven't already done so. 
    Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. The commands are safe and do nothing but produce human-readable text output, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. I am not asking you to trust me. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    { echo "Loaded kernel extensions:"; kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'; echo $'\n'"Loaded user agents:"; launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Inserted libraries:"; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo $'\n'"User cron tasks:"; crontab -l; echo $'\n'"System launchd configuration:"; cat /e*/lau*; echo $'\n'"User launchd configuration:"; cat .lau*; echo $'\n'"Login items:"; osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | sed $'s/, /\\\n/g'; echo $'\n'"Safari extensions:"; /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist | awk -F'= ' '/Bundl/{print $2}' | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; printf "\nRestricted user files: %s\n" $(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); echo $'\n'"Extrinsic loadable bundles:"; cd; find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist" | egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID" && echo ${d%/Contents}; done; echo $'\n'"Unsigned shared libraries:"; find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b $1 | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v $1' {} {} \; -print; echo; ls -A {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}* L*/Fonts; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A TextEdit window will open with the output. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
    { echo "Loaded system agents:"; sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Login hook:"; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo $'\n'"Root cron tasks:"; sudo crontab -l; echo $'\n'"Log check:"; syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    You can then quit Terminal.
    To prevent confusion, I'll repeat: When you type your password in the Terminal window, you won't see what you're typing.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
    Important: If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of these commands, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    Remember, Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output as text, not as a screenshot.
    Please post the contents of the TextEdit window, not the Terminal window.

  • I just installed FF, and I want a SIMPLE way to copy all my bookmarks. Why isn't there a menu item to do this? The need seems OBVIOUS!

    I simply want to make a copy of all of my wife's "Favorites", i.e. your Bookmarks. In FireFox, PrntScrn won't do it, Windows "Snippets" won't do it, and any HELP answers I've seen are hidiously complex. The need/desire to have a paper copy or Word copy of her bookmarks (of course, WITH URL's) seems completely, blatantly obvious. Why all the secrecy? Why isn't there a MENU item to make a copy of the list of Bookmarks??
    And no, I'm not going to try AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN to do the Export/HTLM solution, whatever that means. Sheesh. I'm 10 minutes into FireFox and I'm ready to go back to I.E.
