    About 6 months ago, I decided to switch to FireFox. The next day I was browsing through Add-Ons when I found AdBlock Plus.
    Have recommended it since, and have gotten people to switch to FireFox just for AdBlock Plus.
    I love it.

    “Does not work for me” is not exactly informative. This forum thread tells how to submit bug reports.
