Hi Wladimir Palant,
adblockplus-0.7.1-ja.xpi is nothing.
Why?
adblockplus-0.7.1-ja-JP.xpi?
Isn’t the problem in upload or link?

0.7.1 gives me 100% cpu usage when blocking a shockwave ad.
strangely, the ad that’s being blocks flickers at high speed.
it’s like adblock is constantly fighting it or so.
the previous version was fine.

On which web page?

On the other hand, with Lucas’ testcase below – there seems to be something wrong here. I’m testing…

Sorry I didn’t check enough, it’s only on this webpage, others seem good:

This seems to be caused by another Flash object: http://www.mobileplaza.nl/flash/wksites234×60.swf
It seems that it tries to reload the banner all the time or something like this. If I block it everything is fine again.

Doesn’t work with the new Firefox 2.0b1 release. Any chance of releasing a minor revision that does? Thanks!
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
It does work fine with Firefox 2.0b1, see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2361526#2361526. I’ll probably make a minor release in the next few days anyway.

Reply from Wladimir Palant:
Yes, there seems to be some problem. I’m looking into it.

Indicating a whitelisted page with the toolbar icon is useful.
How about extending this feature to distinct between no blocking or existing blocks on the page.
Whatfor? If I don’t expect blocks (e.g. on a university page), but the icon indicates blocking, it would be a good hint that I had missconfigured my filter list.
The icon indicating no blocking should be different from the “whitelisted page” icon (maybe just using black instead of green in the ring, resulting in a zero?)
What do you think?
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
That’s something I would like to have as well but so far nobody proposed a good icon. A black ring really isn’t intuitive.

Seems to work for me on Firefox 2.0b1, but outputs this message to the terminal:
Adblock Plus: abp.QI to an unknown interface: {a6cf906b-15b3-11d2-932e-00805f8add32}
(doesn’t happen with FF 1.5.0.x)
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
Thanks, I’ll check. That is generally not a problem, just a notice that Firefox sends an unknown request at the content policy (one that should probably be ignored anyway).
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
Fixed this, the message shouldn’t come any more. Unfortunately too late for the 0.7.1.1 release, but the next release will contain this fix.
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
I thought better about it and replaced 0.7.1.1 in AMO’s queue by a new build, so this issue will be fixed in the release.
