by Firefox user 14897559, 7 years agoFor those having issues with Firefox add-ons not working properly at this time type (this temporary measure) in the address bar "about:debugging" this will open up the window for you to manually add the add-on yourself via "Load Temporary Add-on" button. Make sure when you go on the Firefox official add-on page to NOT click on it as you'd normally do but to right-click > "Save Link As" > It should save the XPI file to your computer > Now simply go back to the window Debug tab and install it yourself until Firefox fixes the issue and also note unless you have to don't close the browser as you may have to redo the steps above.
For those who want to use your already installed add-on if it's in the default go to the following folder, C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[name].default\extensions and look for the .xpi files. The [name] is whatever the profile folder is named after (usually its random) so copy/paste up to "Profiles". Share this to any other Firefox user having the same issue.
Linux users: /home/[yourusername]/.mozilla/firefox/[name].default
First instance of the [] replace it with first your user name and the 2nd instance may be random so you will have to find out what the name is. If further issues see this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Linux
Also the above link is useful for MAC users.
Caution! The new Firefox temp fix may be a chance for Mozilla to gather telemetry. If this is an issue with you stick to the above method.
Not sure why but on Firefox this plugin sometimes accumulates an increase of RAM after a while. Doesn't happen often but this was the culprit when I used it together with Ghostery. So would had to close/open Firefox to get rid of it but besides that it does the job severely well.
this is copy past so more people will see the fix and stop 1 star this awesome extension

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tatters, 2 days agoUninstalled when it started giving me push notifs about how many ads it's blocked with completely hyperbolic numbers every 30 minutes or so. Simply not worth it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Максим Егоров, 17 days agoНе обновляется ни один из списков фильтров кроме одного free. Расширение либо сломано либо платное, а бесплатно в урезаном виде работает и ничего не блокирует .

- Rated 1 out of 5by optimusrex, 18 days agoSame as everyone else, it used to work, now it keeps advertising itself. A popup asking for money every time I open my browser. Defeats the whole purpose.

We are also working on an option in a future version of ABP to allow you to prevent our update page from opening.

The addon does what it should prevent in the first place.

Com a internet escalando nesse nivel, esta extensão é essencial.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike, a month agoWorks okay. However, everything time that you type something on facebook, the text you type on any post takes a very long time for the text to show up that it is
ridiculously so slow. This negative side effect is so annoying that I can't recommend this ad blocker for firefox. Try it, and you'll be wondering why your typing is so slow, until you remove this extension.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by mtremblay, a month agoThis adblocker now shows ADS! It constantly asks for money seemingly everytime I open my browser. I can't even disable the request and just use the free version.
Avoid using it now and use ublock Origin instead.Developer response

What's the point of an adblocker if it's more annoying than the ads?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19569924, 2 months agoCant trust a pop-up blocker that makes pop-ups. Guess you lived long enough to become the very thing you fought, huh?
