Hi all,
Since I upgraded Firefox to 35.0.1, Ad Blocker doesn’t look like working as a I have a lot of pop-ups that I didn’t before upgrading. In the add-ons menu in Firefox it looks like correctly installed and working but the fact is that it doesn’t work fine. Any clue?
Regards,
Juan
Ask in a FireFox support webboard or on the Ad Blocker website…
Does he mean the old Avast Ad blocker? I don’t think that’s being worked on anymore. You could use Adblock Plus (https://adblockplus.org/) if you want a good Adblocker for Firefox.
You might find uBlock better since they aren’t allowing ads for pay. 
Im using it now and you can also block malicious sites with it
Also it has a much better performance than AdBlock
uBlock isn’t available for Firefox, which is what the OP is using.
And uBlock isn’t designed for adblocking it is a “general purpose blocker”.
Hi bob3160 and Sutieday.
It is, it is use the B-route. ;D
It is not that very easy to get the uBlock add-on installed on firefox,
get it from here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/download/0.8.7.0-dev.8/uBlock.firefox.xpi
Think firefox is not propagating the competition against the ABP profits via the allowed unintrusives. ;D
Use that link above I gave for downloading, I have that lightweigt adblocking extension now inside firefox,
and in both Google Chrome and Sleipnir for that matter.

Maybe you should have followed my link ??? It certainly is available for FF.
Maybe this will make it easier for you to find it ???

Hi bob3160,
So you see this making it hard to find for average users almost worked. I think that Sutieday would not be the only one to miss it.
These ads that ABP does not block are still part of firefox income next to the donations and the ad-tiles they brought in hard-coded into the browser. If ads really would let the makers of content profit and form an inititiative to work on user-friendly ads I would hold another view.
Alas also the millions and millions of malvertised ads make decent blocking a necessity, now they are made to pay for the sins (abuse) of others.

What I meant was that ublock isn’t available in the Firefox addon market like it is in the chrome web store. This makes it difficult for the average computer user to find and install it.
I agree ublock is very efficient and light of resources, but to call ublock an ad blocker is incorrect.
Not only that but you can’t simply allow it to install. It comes up with an error.
The xpi file needs to be downloaded and then dropped on the ad-ons page.
If it’s not an ad blocker then what is it ??? Something that blocks ads from appearing in my eyes is an ad blocker.
Hi bob3160,
Just installed it into firefox and it works like a charm. Did not work my firefox much lately as I work my personal brew of Google Chrome config,
but I noticed that ABP in firefox has started to collect donation money :o (I thought that ABP had enough income from their adblocking circumvention schemes via that German buro that owns ABP). At least good uBlock runs in firefox and yes, Sutieday, there it is a genuine 100% adblocker add-on! No sweat! As bob3160 says: “When it swims like an adblocker and it quacks like an adblocker, it sure must an adblocker!” ;D

I understand what you are saying. UBlock is not available on AMO, and thus hasn’t been thru the normal vetting process. When it is available there, I might consider changing.
For now AdBlock Plus (with a few filtersets) and setting it not to show whitelisted ads, and NoScript is keeping Firefox clean from ads for me.
If you have a problem adding uBlock to FireFox, here’s a video that will make it very easy:

Enjoy.
Hi Gopher John,
Here you doubt the wetting of Google Chrome and protect the firefox AMO point of view, notwithstanding the fact there may be other reasons than plain security testing to propagate Wladimir Palant’s ABP over uBlock. I also did not hear the firefox fanboys speak out on the hard-coded ad-launching that came to firefox via their ad-tiles (you can go back on ad-tiles via an earlier configuration but as per default you get this), not many users going to change the browser via about-config to change this hard-coded ads-feeding. I am not against this, but I do not like it when browser development is not open and upfront about these schemes. Sorry firefox is not the open development browser from their earlier Mozilla days anymore, but my idle hopes ended when the Palo-Alto developed flock browser went obsolete, the best browser with the best feel had suddenly gone forever.

FWIW, I’ve never had the ad page that is mentioned. I disabled that when the version that introduced it was released. I guess it’s all in knowing how to use Firefox, or any other software.
Currently, I have zero issues with Adblocker, set with Default settings. I’ve seen Zip ads since I installed it (Unless disabled)
Gave ublock a try on FF 35.0.1, and I have to say it’s really good, and makes browsing snappier. I read this post by ublock on how to reduce privacy exposure and it doesn’t seem to break any sites.
