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 5 out of 5by M@rS, 5 days agoPředstavte si, že k vám příjde cizí člověk a zakryje vám oči, protože si myslí, že může rozhodovat o tom, co a kdy můžete vidět. Máte plné ruce a nemůžete se bránit. A někdo jiný si toho všimne a příjde vám na pomoc! Mně na webu přišel pomoct AdBlock. Je to ochranný prostředek pro psychické zdraví. Díky za něj.

- Rated 1 out of 5by sockmonkey, 13 days agoWhat the hell is the point of an ad-block that opens it's own popup to try and get you to pay for premium every time you use your browser?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20034667, a month agoThis will remain a 1 star until ABP decides to stop interrupting my mornings with pop-up ads. Other ad blockers have enough common sense not to CAUSE THEIR OWN POP-UP ADS. When good ad blockers like uBlock Origin update, they do it quietly without bothering the user. The people at ABP thought you wouldn't mind annoying adverts if it was from them. Advertising to me a product I already have installed is a sure sign these people do not respect users time.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18607988, 2 months agoI like the ads blocking. I wish it had a way to actively save the whitelist. I keep having to re whitelist things, with an import / export of the config files.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Pkon, 3 months agoРаботает, наверно, лучше всех среди бесплатных адблоков. Иногда на некоторых сайтах проскакивает реклама, но ее можно зарепортить и ее через какое то время убирают
