Comments on: AdBlock Plus Updated to Work in Firefox 3 http://www.greenmtngeek.com/2008/06/adblock-plus-updated-to-work-in-firefox-3/ A place to vent my technical spleen Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:33:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kirk M http://www.greenmtngeek.com/2008/06/adblock-plus-updated-to-work-in-firefox-3/comment-page-1/#comment-48 Kirk M Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:14:11 +0000 http://www.greenmtngeek.com/2008/01/adblock-plus-updated-to-work-in-firefox-3/#comment-48 <p>ziva,</p> It sounds like you may have mistaken me for the author of AdBlock Plus but I'm not actually. Just an avid Firefox user and general tech-head. :P However, one thing I've noticed on version 7.5.5 which is the latest version, is that no matter whether AdBlock is enabled or disabled (via the toolbar or status bar icon), the right click menu (on a Windows machine) always states "Enable AdBlock Plus". This glitch doesn't keep AdBlock Plus from working properly for myself but it may manifest itself worse in OSX. Anyway, head to the <a href="http://adblockplus.org/forum/" rel="nofollow">AdBlockPlus.org forums</a> and let them know what's happening. I'm sure yours is an isolated case since yours is the first time I've heard of AdBlock Plus not working for Mac users. Hope you get it fixed. ziva,

I noticed AdBlock plus is not enabled. When I go to "Addons" on the Tools menu, AdBlock Plus appears to be enabled (it offers me the option to disable) but when I go to "Adblock Plus..." in the Tools menu, there is an alert in red in the preference window that says "Adblock Plus is disabled. You can edit any filters in the list, but those won't be applied until you reenable." And BTW, it's not blocking any ads. I have tried disabling then reenabling, reinstalling AdBlock Plus, but to no avail. Using AdBlock Plus 0.7.5.5, which is the latest version AFAIK. I appreciate all the work you have put into this, and I loved having AdBlock (one of the main reasons I've kept using Firefox). But it's just not working in this configuration. Sorry. Maybe I'll try it on a Mac that can run OS 10.5... I’ve just recently (last week) upgraded to Firefox 3.0, running on Mac OS 10.4.11. I noticed AdBlock plus is not enabled.
