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.

Pop Ups on Safari with AdBlock Plus extension on

Dear Apple Community,
I have been having this issue with my 2013 MBP 13" Retina display where every time I open www.piratebay.se with Safari a pop up opens up even though I have Adblock Plus on. This issue only happens on this particular site and nowhere else. Any advice on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Since the last update, adblock plus has stopped working! :^(

i'm horribly afraid that this has something to do with the fact that since i'm running mac 10.4.11, firefox 3.6.25oing out and buying a whole new computer, and didn't i read somewhere that you're no longer supporting 3.6.25?
the previous version of adblock plus was working fine; can i get it back again? or is there, pleeeeeese, some other sort of fix?
with these ads now popping up on nearly every page, i feel like i'm stuck in safari or something!
thank you.

Version of 2.0.3 of Adblock Plus supports Firefox 3.6.*
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/versions/
As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs both OSX 10.5+ and '''Intel''' hardware.
Firefox 3.6.* from Mozilla is the last to work on PPC. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (Firefox 3.6.25 was released recently at same time as 9.0).
Since you have a PPC there is a third-party option for Firefox 9.0 at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ however do note http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported if you use these third-party builds.
Support for Firefox 3.6.* is likely to finally end (was originally to be shortly after Fx 4.0) sometime in April as this is when a new ESR version (Firefox 10.0) for Enterprise users will be supported. It will be too current for you short of using a third-party or your own build.

I have Hughesnet with limited bandwidth and even with adblock plus websites start flash videos now - how can I stop the videos from loading when the web page loads

Hughesnet only allows us to use an allotted amount of download. If I use tabs on Firefox, some pages start their bandwidth eating flash yada yada and waste my allotment. I'd like to have Firefox default to NOT loading flash unless I do something to say OK. Adblock plus helps eliminate flash ads, but not page content that is in flash.

How to Block ads in ipad like firefox adblock plus

Hi,
Just switch from android 4 and i'm unhappy to discover after buying the new ipad that you can't install FIREFOX with adblock plus.
Is there a way to get rid off all this insane ads on the net with another ipad friendly browser ?
this annoys me a lot a and make my ipad experience worst than in android 4, where I was abble to use firefox with adblock.

Since there are a number of 3rd party browsers available via the iTunes app store, I don't believe there is anything preventing Firefox from developing an iOS compatible version of their browser.

How do I disable (uninstall) Adblock Plus?

I am trying to watch a missed TV episode. I get a "message" indicating that I have to disable Adblock Plus. Directions given: In right hand corner of Firefox, click on the ABP icon, and uncheck "Enable Adblock Plus". However, there is NO such icon on Firefox' toolbar. I went to your help site; FAQ; checked out forums, etc. You would think "disable Adblock Plus" would be pretty simple, but I guess it's not.

The real and genuine [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus] doesn't install itself or without explicit user consent.
You can disable this Adblock Plus by going to Tools ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left, look for the entry and '''Disable''' or '''Remove'''. Instead, if it's already visible on the toolbar or status bar (Addon bar), click on the icon and '''Disable everywhere'''.
To selectively disable ABP on individual webpages or whole sites:
While there click '''Options''', again '''Options''' and check (tick) '''Show in toolbar''' or '''Show in statusbar'''. Once it appears on the toolbar or statusbar you can easily click on the icon to disable ABP on individual pages like this (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/781327) by clicking '''Disable on this page only''' or click '''Disable on support.mozilla.com''' to disable ABP on the whole site / subdomain.
If ABP icon isn't appearing on the toolbar you may have to [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars?s=customize&r=0&as=s Customize] the toolbar via '''View''' ('''Alt''' + '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' > '''Customize''' and bring in the ABP icon (after enabling) to the toolbar.

My StartCom certification allows software makers, but AdBlock Plus will not install on OSX 10.4.11. 'Signing could not be verified -260'

Every attempt fails to install AdBlock Plus on OSX 10.4.11, producing only the "Signing could not be verified -260" message. Following instructions in a previous post about this, I looked at the “StartCom Certification Authority” and found it already checked to identify software makers. I have no idea how to either find or update the "nss" package. [Network Services Suite?] Can you tell me specifically where to look and how to do that? What else may help to solve the problem? If AdBlock Plus still will not install, what's the next-best product that includes turning off the intrusive google connection requests? How soon will you update Firefox itself with a simple toggle switch to turn that on and off?
== Every installation attempt fails.

See https://adblockplus.org/en/known-issues#signing - the most obvious suspicion is that your Adblock Plus download has been manipulated (which is exactly what signing is supposed to prevent). It might be some application installed on your computer - or maybe you are simply installing from a third-party site rather than addons.mozilla.org.

Every single extension on the Add-on Manager is gone! Adblock Plus too! Also evertime is restart Firefox why is AdBlock Plus not up there with Greasemonkey?

I think the Add-On Manager is bugged! Adblock Plus disappears when Firefox is restarted as well. I'm using the newest version of Firefox too. This thing has more bugs than the old one.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

Is firefox adblock plus make it better than safari?

hi
just quick shoot question.
i 99% uses firefox browser with add on called adblock plus 2.03
it never shows advertisement like the mackeeper that so frequently harrased me when i used safari. this made me scared of unintended clicking on my part.
are there similar thing on safari?
i just dont feel secure with safari, because once i opened it, and in few minutes pop up ads and mackeeper coming out of nowhere....
hope ur not mad at me for favoring firefox. but i really think if safari has same adblock i would move back, as i feel it is wierd that firefox could do better than mac... its nigh impossible... ?

You're certainly free to use Firefox if that works for you. There are similar add-on web blockers for Safari, including a version of AdBlock:
http://code.google.com/p/adblockforchrome/
Personally I don't like browser-specific blocking add-ons since they can break with any browser upgrade, so I use GlimmerBlocker. It's a stand-alone ad blocker (it works sort of like a web proxy system) and hence works with any browser you run on your system, so you don't need an ad blocking add-on for each browser.
But if Firefox works for you, by all means use it. Many people do.
Regards.

Would it work and safe to have "Adblock Plus" Plug-In?

This plug-in called AdBlock Plus is claiming that it will block any pop up ads in any web page including Facebook ect.
I would like to know if it is capable of blocking these annoying pop ups one encounter in certain web pages such as on line news papers.
Does anybody in here heard about this?
Regards

Snow,
Ad-Block Plus is a legitimate and safe add-on (plug-in) for browsers.   Try it for yourself, see if you're happy with it... if not, you can always disable or uninstall it.
Some notes:
1) You have to install it separately for each browser in which you want it to work.   These can be downloaded from https://adblockplus.org/
2) After installed, you can RIGHT-click on the icon [in your browser], select SETTINGS, to be sure it's set for the best language for you.    Apparently, different language settings can block different ads.
3) There is also a box which you can (optionally) check to "Allow some non-intrusive advertising".   Checking this box should allow some ads through... UNchecking the box should (theoretically) stop ALL ads.

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!
