Have been noticing problems with Adblock Plus taking a while to start working when I start up Firefox lately. 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. 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. It had a link to take me to other addons to replace the missing one but there apparently are none. Just a bunch of Firefox addons I'm not interested in. Adblock Plus is literally the only addon I use.

Adblock Plus Not Working

(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.)

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. (That's a lie. I installed it just fine the other day.)

Adblock Options Not Showing Yahoo

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. Is Firefox now banning Adblock Plus? What am I supposed to use in the meantime?

I much prefer Firefox over (competing browser) but I can't use it like this. It is literally not safe. :(

Just realized, too, that I can only browse a certain site on my tablet with Firefox for mobile and its Adblock Plus addon, which (mobile version of competing browser for Android) doesn't have. Is that going to stop working, too? So now I can't visit my most-used website while on a tablet?
