Thanks for this wonder addon, but some websites use some technics to force us to disable adblock plus, are you working to allow us to get rid of all the nasty ads on the web, I can’t stand watching a publicity before watching videos online, thanks that adblock plus work on youtube, but on other websites if the ads can’t be played the video player doesn’t load or doesn’t work, its quite annoying.

Many thanks for the best and most useful add on to Firefox.
The new version blocks virtually everything I’ve asked it to, either by the right click and ‘Block Image’ method or by the ‘Block’ tab appearing.
Is there a way I can send you some cash to support your great work? I couldn’t see a donate button on the site. It might not be a huge amount but a token of my appreciation.
Cheers again.

At least on mac, the Adblock Plus right-click menu in the add-ons list has the item “Visit home page” disabled. Is this on purpose?
Many, many thanks and best regards!

No, that’s https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416350 unfortunately. I want to fix that bug for the next version of Firefox.

APB and Noscript makes firefox a browser God!… :]

By any chance this time Weave sync might work with ABP weave sync ?
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
Nope. In fact, ABP Weave Sync will need an even larger makeover now – https://adblockplus.org/development-builds/incompatible-changes-in-current-builds. I hope that I will find time for this before Adblock Plus 1.3 release. Of course if somebody else could invest his time into this it would help a lot…

firefox build in popup blocker can’t block a popup from adultfriendfinder, i added this entry on adblock plus and i still get to see the popup showing up. Is there a way to disable it? Or do i have to use Noscript?

currently I’m beta testing the latest candidate build of Seamonkey 2.1 alpha 1. hopefully when SM 2.1a1 officially comes out later this May, ABP 1.2 will be compatible with it (currently it isn’t). I’ve also learned that the first Firefox 4.0 beta (based on Gecko 1.9.3) will come out sometime next month.
and new K-meleon dev builds are available [KM 1.6.0 alpha 4 and KM 1.7 alpha]
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/kmeleon16
K-meleon 1.7 alpha uses Gecko engine 1.9.2 similar to Firefox 3.6.
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
I marked Adblock Plus 1.2 compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1a2 (highest version currently allowed by AMO). Next development build will support it as well.
As to K-Meleon – I’ll look into supporting these versions when I have time.

Hi, after the most recent update, Adblocker Plus stopped working.
