Install Adblock Plus 2.6.13 for Firefox
The release announcement yesterday already mentioned an upcoming change that will break Adblock Plus in Firefox nightly builds. However, at that point we didn’t know the scope of the issue and didn’t have a simple solution. Turned out, Adblock Plus isn’t merely broken itself but breaks the browser’s user interface as well. Luckily, Nils Maier provided us with a simple work-around for the issue, so we could push out a new release quickly.

Adblock Plus 1.0 for iOS released · 2015-09-30 10:48 by Felix Dahlke
We’re happy to announce that Apple has finally approved the first version of Adblock Plus for iOS – you can now get it on the App Store. (It took forever, we submitted shortly after it became possible to submit iOS 9 apps.)
We’re using the new content blocking API introduced in iOS 9 to provide an ad blocker for Safari on iOS, with a content blocking list generated from EasyList.
The content blocking API does, however, have some limitations that make it difficult to build a decent ad blocker with it. In addition, the inability to do any sort of UI integration makes it difficult to provide the usual Adblock Plus features in a usable way. That’s why we have a second product on iOS: Adblock Browser, a browser with ad blocking built in, which is not subject to the limitations of the content blocking API. I suggest you just try both, and use whatever suits you best.
