Adblock Plus is broken after Firefox 58 update. From the config page all the list subscriptions are gone, and attempt to re-subscribe any list is not possible as all url return as 'invalid url'. Removing Adblock Plus and adding it to Firefox again would solve the above issue, and all the previous subscribed lists would appear again as if nothing has happened. The issue would occur again every time after I turn of the laptop and restart it next day.

    We're aware that YouTube has been intermittently testing strategies to show either ads or their anti-adblocking wall. However, in some cases we've found that your settings might have changed which is why ads are suddenly appearing. Please try the steps in this article: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/articles/26653087560595-Ads-appearing-on-YouTube. If those steps don't help, please submit a support request and we'll be happy to assist you: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/requests/new.

    Unexpectedly opens a Browser Tab asking me to upgrade to a plan and pay. HARD. F***ING. NO! >Use uBlock Origin instead.< Also, the "allow some non-intrusive ads"? What in the actual f*ck? It completely subverts what I attempt to achieve!
    I list this ad blocker as "Not Recommended".
    TL;DR
    Get uBlock Origin and spare Yourself ads completely and the ad blocker's "ads" about getting a plan.

    The real thing, and, has never let me down for 2 straight decades. There are a lot of wannabe fake ones that "look" like they are blocking stuff this one misses but that's not true, they are just "stealing" those stats by stepping in front and blocking them before it can by moving itself up in the page handler queue. Don't be tricked by fakes or moofed by reviews of novices/kiddos who can't configure their devices properly.

    The plugin works fine overall except it randomly opens a new tab every time it updates, begging for donations. I get it, stuff costs money to make. This is a really annoying way to ask for donations though and cheapens the experience. Other ad block plugins dont do this.

    used this for a long old while, at the very least a decade, but now, not only with it being ineffective on youtube but also in general, there may be better alternatives out there like Ublock origin

    Im using this addon for long time already and it worked mostly, but since a while YT can access my FF addon settings and disables this addon automatically after YT is recognizing that Adblock Plus is installed and active, so it doesn't take effect anymore-> no block functionality anymore, biggest question is, how can YT access settings on FF and change them, and also, which other settings can be accessed from outside to FF?

    We are using a new strategy to handle YouTube's anti-ad blocking warning. When we detect YouTube's notification, we will automatically pause Adblock Plus so you can continue watching without disruption. The pause is temporary so if you leave YouTube and return later, it will remain unpaused until the warning is detected again. We believe YouTube will only attempt to show you the wall for a day or two and then we can go back to blocking ads as normal.
