I much prefer Firefox over (competing browser) but I can't use it like this. Is Firefox now banning Adblock Plus? What am I supposed to use in the meantime? I'm now posting this from (a competing browser) because I refuse to surf the Web without a reputable ad blocker installed-a previous computer was ruined (WITH up-to-date antivirus software running) because of a hijacked ad. I went to the Adblock Plus site and tried downloading/installing it again and this time, Firefox refused, saying the file appeared "corrupt" so it would not install it.
(For the record, I got the same error message for the Trend Micro toolbar, that it was no longer "verified" so had been removed, though I didn't have it enabled.) Adblock Plus is literally the only addon I use. Just a bunch of Firefox addons I'm not interested in. It had a link to take me to other addons to replace the missing one but there apparently are none. Looking into the settings for further info, it said stuff about it no longer being verified in Firefox and took me to some page that described the issue but it didn't explain much, just something about "improving" or updating itself to be safer removing my ad blocker sure doesn't make it safer. But a few moments ago when just sitting idle on Wikipedia, I got a popup from Firefox saying the addon isn't recognized anymore and has been removed. Other Add-Ons: ColorfulTabs 19.9, DownloadHelper 4.9.21, Microsoft Net Framework Assistant 0.0.0, ProxTube 1.5.Have been noticing problems with Adblock Plus taking a while to start working when I start up Firefox lately. With a fewer version of ABP it works fine! In that tab I have to click on another item, then it is fully disappeared. Going back to the Add-On-tab and deleting ABP 2.3.2. So I'm clicking on the corresponding homepage, which will be opened in a new tab. When I click on it, I find only "Deaktivate" or "Delete", no "Properties". Same to me! I can't find the symbol, but in "Extras" - "Add-Ons" - "Erweiterungen" (I don't know the exact english phrase. However you could try a new firefox profile The devs are working these days to remove this kind of issue Mapx wrote:did you try using only ABP and not any other extension / heavy plugin ?
