Adblock is misbehaving again by not working, so I am going to give Chrome another try.

Are you using AD Blocker for Firefoxz 11+?

I also use Adblock Plus Popup Addon 0.9.1 in conjunction.

Just another data point, working fine here on several different machines. Firefox 16 on Linux, 29 on Windows 7 Enterprise, and various versions on Windows 7 Pro, 7 Home Premium, and 8.

How much RAM do you have in your machine?

Is this happening to anyone else?

Anyone good with computers know how to fix this? Right clicking over the content to add it to the filter is not an available option, it seems.
The only thing that fixed the problem was uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox.

Usually for me, my browser blocks popups, but ads are how my favorite websites like Hulu and YouTube are able to host their content for free so I just mute the ads there. Oh, and AdBlock ate up my computer's speed like Pac-Man on roids so there's that.

'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
