Thank you for the update, Wladimir!
I’ve noticed, that the file size increased by more than 100 KB (from 464.9 KB to 593.9 KB). Why is that so?
Did it increase because of this or is the new translation the reason for it?
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
You guessed correctly, we simply don’t compress the file as we used to. An additional translation doesn’t have that much impact.

K-Meleon was affected by bug 23890 as well. Many thanks for the new ABP build.
Best regards!

Why did you stop compressing the file as you used to? I didn’t find an answer in the link above.
Reply from Wladimir Palant:
Because less compressed files improve performance in Firefox 4 (in particular, startup is faster). I considered the extra download size an acceptably small price to pay for that. In the long term I hope that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648213 will be fixed and this will no longer matter.
