Ad Block Plus disappears

I have installed Ad Block Plus at least 3 times. The icon (upper right) disappears after a few uses. Is it still running? Should I reinstall? I like the service and have used it on previous versions of Firefox. Please let me know how to proceed.

  • Ad Block Plus is not blocking ads

    I downloaded ad block plus 3 years ago and it worked perfectly. Suddenly, it stopped blocking ads. I have tried to use the troubleshooting advice, and have followed the parts I understand. But it still does not work, although it seems to have been downloaded because I see the option of removing it when I go to Tools and Options.
    Help!

  • Ad Block Plus

    The firefox extension, Ad Block Plus, caused trouble in the presentations application.  I also noticed that,  in the my files application, while scrolling down a pdf document using the scroll wheel on my mouse, document to jump back to the top after viewing a couple of pages.
    It is probably a good idea to disable ad block plus on all acrobat.com applications.  You can do this by clicking on the ABP icon in firefox and choosing "Disable on ..." for each of the applications after you've logged in.  You'll need to reload the page.

    Thanks for the excellent tip for Firefox users!

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Or Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:

  • Cannot install Ad-Block Plus. ERROR 404! which means the XPI file is not availible to download, Could someone please fix this?

    i try to download AD Block Plus, get a 404 Error when trying to download from mozilla add ons site or ad block plus web site!
    This needs to be fixed!

    Could you try again in case it was a temporary glitch?
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
    If you get the same error, I wonder whether some other software on your system is blocking it. Are you able to download other add-ons from the same site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here (this will log you out)
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How to make a block appear / disappear at runtime ?

    Hello,
    I'd like to make a whole block appear and disappear at runtime.
    The block has no "visible" property, nor has the frame surrounding it on the canvas.
    Of course I can set this property for each item in the block, but I would like to find something easier.
    Thanks for your help.

    stack canvas is a better way.
    But the situation matters. after the block 'disappears', you leave the blank space there or resize the canvas ? if you have resize it to smaller, then you may set the window size in one built call.
    Thus the detailed way depends one the detailed requirement.

  • Playlist on iPhone 6 plus disappeared

    For some reason, the other day I went to play some music on my playlists and they were all gone. These are playlists I created on my iPhone NOT on my computer in iTunes. Just directly on my phone. I have it backed up to iCloud.
    I tried restoring, no luck. I updated to the new software 8.3 this morning and thought that might work, negative. So, all of my playlists have simply disappeared from my iPhone Plus.
    I have even tried the disabling iTunes match work around, and that had no luck. Again, I do not have this playlist on my computer/iTunes, so I have no idea how to get it back.
    Any ideas?

    I had this since the outage yesterday (11th March).
    I had logged out of the iTunes store on my phone and my playlists vanished.
    To get them back I re-switched on "iTunes match" under "settings" "iTunes and app store" - I think!
    hope this works

  • Why does my exclusion of a web site in pop-up blocker settings disappear when I close Firefox?

    Every time I go to my online bank site I have to reenter the site address of the bill paying portion of the site, which is a pop-up window, in Tools/Options/Content/Block Pop-up Windows/Exceptions, because my previous entry has disappeared from the list of exceptions.
    Is there any way to save it when I close Firefox?

    What are you clearing when Firefox closes?
    Tools > Options -> Privacy --> History = Clear history when Firefox closes - hit the Exceptions button = what do you have set there?
    '''Site preferences''' - is what you shouldn't be be clearing

  • Sir, even after i have the add-on plugin ad-block plus, some ads could not be blocked which is played by adobe flash player. How to block any and every ad either through image or flash player etc.,

    i am getting ads through flash player. there is no menu to either close the same and/or block the same. more flash player ads appear in each screen. please suggest more options other than adblock plus, which is not effective in blocking the flash player ads.

    You can look at these extensions:
    * Flash Block: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/433
    * NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/722

  • How do I find my ad blocker plus add-on? I can't find it in my tols anymore.

    I need to set up my wifes ad plus blocker, so I am going to my computer to see how I have it set up. I can not find where the settings are. My wife is getting more popupps that you can imagine. Her computer needs to have the ad blocker.

    # Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ and click the Add to Firefox button.
    # Once installed, you'll have an Adblock Plus icon on the navigation toolbar (the area with the address bar and the search box).
    #* [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
    # If the menu bar is enabled, you'll also see an Adblock Plus submenu under the Tools menu.

  • Since a while I can't use my hotmail anymore. The Hotmail support sayed i had to contact you to find out if my firefox is No Script extension or Ad Block Plus.

    Firefox would be blocking my hotmail box.

    If you '''do have''' those extensions installed, try disabling them to see if they are the cause of problem you're having with Hotmail.
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions = look at the list, click on those extensions and use the '''Diasble''' button, than restart Firefox. Then try Hotmail to see if it works with those two extensions disabled.

  • When ever I try to open something up in Safari, it says blocked plus in.  How do I get rid of this

    Whenever I try to open something in Safari, it says blocked plug in.  This did not happen a month ago.  How do I correct this?

    If it is the flash plugin go to this Adobe website, Adobe - Flash Player, and check to see which version you're running.  The current version is shown on the page.  Click on the Player Download Center link and download and install the latest flash plugin for Safari. 
    Don't download flash from any other soruce as there are scams and malware sites out there with the Flash download as the hook.

  • My popup blocker exceptions disappear when I close Firefox.

    I just ran into this the other day, but it's become a major issue. The exceptions I enter into the popup blocker don't persist from session to session; as long as at least one instance of Firefox remains open the exception list is there, but after I close Firefox and reopen it I have no exceptions left. I only need a handful of exceptions, but I don't want to have to type them in every time I access those web sites!

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

  • I have goen back to Firefox 3.6. Why isn't my AdBlock plus working?

    (This is my 3rd try on this stupid new computer [just shy of 2 months]. It is an HP laptop with Windows 7. It is TOO responsive. It erases entire things I am writing for reasons I have no idea why....)
    Anyway. I have had this problem once before. I have a very important Google "Main Page" bookmark that has links to things like my calendar, gmail, and most importantly something called "IGoogle". This is a sort of masterpiece I made myself a long time ago that consists of a SERIES of pages with specific add-ins that I want -- e.g. a "Home" page that has everything from my to do list to biorhythms; then there are pages such as "Cartoons & Other Fun", "Daily Add-Ins", & several more. I rely on these things! I have been rolling along just fine in Firefox 4 up until a few days ago when I have no idea what happened! My Ad Block Plus was working AND all my IGoogle pages were fine. Then -- as it is wont to do -- the computer did its latest "willy nilly" trick & reduced my Google start page to absolute microprint -- and I mean, BEYOND microprint! I kept clicking on control & + & finally got it back to the right size, but in the meantime -- something happened to the start page. Now when I go to my "Google Main" bookmark & go to my "IGoogle", I get the pages..... BUT there is nothing on them!!!! So -- I re-installed Firefox 3.616 (because I know the pages work on that) -- & also upgraded to 3.617. The IGoogle pages work fine. However.... now my Ad Block Plus has completely disappeared. When I go to tools>add-ons, for Ad Block Plus, all I see is "Options" along with "Disable" or "Uninstall". If you click on ANY of those, all I get is little bells dinging, absolutely NOTHING happens, and then the little window will not close! If I click uninstall, it will claim it has done it & will take effect when I restart Firefox. I do that -- except exactly the same thing is still there. I have tried to do a new install of Ad Block Plus -- and I get something about an "unknown error" & that the thing cannot install! Fine. If I go back & then re-install Firefox 4, the AdBlock Plus works fine, but once again my IGoogle pages have no content.
    Now, I had this problem once before. Somehow one day I was able to upgrade to Firefox 4 DIRECTLY from the 3.616 -- that is, WITHOUT downloading the Firefox 4.exe (or whatever it is). At that point, I happily had both my AdBlock Plus AND all my IGoogle pages. I can't remember how I was able to do this!
    For now, all I know is that I have two choices:
    If I stay in Firefox 3.616, I can have my IGoogle pages BUT AdBlock Plus doesn't work & the ads are driving me absolutely CRAZY!
    I can get rid of the ads in Firefox 4, but I can't have my IGoogle pages.
    Help!

    I'm Sorry! The Crash ID You Gave In The System Details Can Not Be Opened.. Can You Re-Post A New one?
    Thanks!
