Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 14897559, 7 years agoFor those having issues with Firefox add-ons not working properly at this time type (this temporary measure) in the address bar "about:debugging" this will open up the window for you to manually add the add-on yourself via "Load Temporary Add-on" button. Make sure when you go on the Firefox official add-on page to NOT click on it as you'd normally do but to right-click > "Save Link As" > It should save the XPI file to your computer > Now simply go back to the window Debug tab and install it yourself until Firefox fixes the issue and also note unless you have to don't close the browser as you may have to redo the steps above.
For those who want to use your already installed add-on if it's in the default go to the following folder, C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[name].default\extensions and look for the .xpi files. The [name] is whatever the profile folder is named after (usually its random) so copy/paste up to "Profiles". Share this to any other Firefox user having the same issue.
Linux users: /home/[yourusername]/.mozilla/firefox/[name].default
First instance of the [] replace it with first your user name and the 2nd instance may be random so you will have to find out what the name is. If further issues see this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Linux
Also the above link is useful for MAC users.
Caution! The new Firefox temp fix may be a chance for Mozilla to gather telemetry. If this is an issue with you stick to the above method.
Not sure why but on Firefox this plugin sometimes accumulates an increase of RAM after a while. Doesn't happen often but this was the culprit when I used it together with Ghostery. So would had to close/open Firefox to get rid of it but besides that it does the job severely well.
this is copy past so more people will see the fix and stop 1 star this awesome extension

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19569924, a day agoCant trust a pop-up blocker that makes pop-ups. Guess you lived long enough to become the very thing you fought, huh?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ptichka Udod, 11 days agoДействительно 5*! Пользуюсь давно. Огромное спасибо, что есть бесплатная версия. Как по мне, реклама только гадит и мусорит, затрудняет работу. К рекламе вообще отношусь категорически отрицательно. На фоне этого появилось непреодолимое желание, как вариант: не покупать рекламируемый продукт! Принципиально: «Если нельзя, но очень хочется – то найти аналог!».
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tortue CH, 14 days agoIt constantly throws pop-ups that interrupt whatever you’re typing, insisting that you upgrade to the paid version.
If you’re entering your password and your eyes are on the keyboard when the pop-up appears, you only notice later that you’ve typed your password straight into a random intrusive window. That’s not just annoying : it’s a serious security risk, and frankly, borderline illegal. - Rated 1 out of 5by Jim, 17 days agoUninstalled as the popup tab is annoying. I use an ad blocker to avoid these kinds of things.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13527624, a month agoI use this extension since ~2018-19 in: Mozilla Firefox on Linux and Windows desktops (x86 && x64(amd64)) and Android devices (Firefox Android version also has extensions support); Chrome (Windows desktop); Opera/Opera extensions store-compatible browsers (Win && Lin x86/64); Waterfox.. Works like a charm all this times. Very appreciate its talanted developers!! My favorite extension for ad-block all this times. P.S. also perfectly blocks newer Youtube embedded ads algorithms since day one of they has been added!!:)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Борец за правду, 2 months agoПока работает на 5 звёзд, но есть одно замечание: фильтры из встроенного списка обновляются очень плохо, то есть почти всегда недоступны к обновлению.
-----------------------------------------
So far it works at 5 stars, but there is one remark: the filters from the built-in list are updated very poorly, that is, they are almost always unavailable for updating.Developer response

Continually having to turn off adds and then refresh the page even for pages where I have told it not to block ads. Finally found this. "Websites or pages you have not visited in the last 7 days are automatically removed from your allowlist" Why?????? And no seeming way to turn off this setting. Makes this otherwise useful add on frustrating and almost unusable.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18669691, 3 months agoJust trash. Worked for years and now it doesn't block s**t. Every option is paywalled now. Too bad, another lazy cashgrab.

Absolutely love this extension
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ulrike, 3 months ago1 Stern, weil weniger nicht geht. Der Adblocker kotzt mich an, weil ich diesen nicht deaktiviert bekomme, um ein Login auf der GMX-Seite für meine 86 jährige Mutter einrichten zu können. Ständig funkt der Adblocker dazwischen, obwohl ich die GMX-Seite freigegeben habe. Habrt ihr nicht´s anderes zu tun als meine Zeit zu stellen?

posted 2 months agoIf you are still being asked to disable Adblock Plus even with ABP already off/page allowlisted, most likely something else is causing the issue.
