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!

How to install Adblock Plus in Gran Paradiso 3.0.4 [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Adblock Plus in the version of Firefox I use which (for some licensing issue) identifies itself as Gran Paradiso 3.0.4. The Adblock plus version is 0.7.5.5. I've looked at the install.rdf for the xpi and it seems that Adblock Plus will install int Firefox 3.0.* so it seems to be an issue with the name - Gran Paradiso. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks

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.

How do I disable AdBlock Plus, FlashBlock, and NoScript to that I can watch mlb baseball games?

I don't know about FlashBlock and NoScript, but in Adblock Plus, you can go to '''Tools > Adblock Plus Preferences'''. A window will open with your Adblock Plus filters, which checkboxes along the side for disabling/enabling them.

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.

[[Unable to install add-ons or extensions]]

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!

After upgrading to 20.0.1 cannot open a new window (CTRL+N) and no add-ons seem to work (apart from adblock plus).

Unable to open new window (but able to open new tabs).
Sometimes unable to open Add-ons tab.
The add-on extensions do not seem to be working, even though they seem to be ENABLED (except adblock plus).
When restarting in safe mode, or disabling ALL add-ons the browser works normally, thus new windows open, add-on tab opens etc.
Tried to enable one thing at a time, but it seems that when enabling WHICHEVER TWO add-ons, firefox starts acting "weirdly" (no new windows etc.).
Tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it didn't solve the problem.
Tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling. At first it all seemed working perfectly well: new windows opened, extensions working etc. But after a couple of restarts (of firefox and computer) it all got back to the same situation.
Tried uninstalling ALL add-ons and everything worked well. After installing the SECOND add-on and restarting firefox things get "wrong" again.
It all started after upgrading to Firefox 20.0.1.

Hello,
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.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Adblock Plus icon won't stay where I put it

I have a customized toolbar with Toothless How to Train Your Dragon skin. After the address bar I have a TON of spaces, ok maybe not too many, but enough to keep the bar relatively small, but the Adblock Plus icon keeps reappearing to the far right side of all the "spaces" I have inserted. I keep customizing the toolbar and dragging it back to the left near the address bar and clicking the "done" button. Next time I reopen FF the icon is back on the right again, right on top of the graphic/skin.

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.

how to enable wi-fi in sleep mode?

If you have cellular data plan for your phone and you have cellular data turned on, the fact that you do not have Wi-Fi at the time, you will still receive your messages, plus once the device starts to receive the message and "wakes up", the device will reconnect to Wi-Fi at that time.
As stated by everyone that has posted so far, the fact that Wi-Fi disconnects after the phone goes to sleep is a battery saving feature of the phone. There is no app or other setting that will change that. Only keeping the device connected to power will keep the Wi-Fi radio active.

Adblock Plus is blocking my email search tool in Yahoo mail

I have not been able to use "search email" for all my emails, just some. I restarted Firefox today, on recommendation. This disabled my Adblock Plus for some reason! Then I was able to do email search for anything I wanted. But I was getting ads in my yahoo, so I installed adblock plus again, which helped that problem, but now I cannot do email search again.
How do I tell adblock plus to stop blocking my email search?

You can ask advice at the Adblock Plus forum if there are problems with this extension or with a filter list:
