Anyone else having "adblock" Firefox problems?

I have ads galore, and my filters are not blocking them on Firefox.
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.

My adblock plus is working as it always has... damn well!
Check your filter subscriptions. I only have one, EasyList. I think it's updated every day.

I use two pieces of software for browsing:
1. Hotspot Shield-- allows me to spoof my location so I can watch free station content in England and the US, and gets by Korean anti-porn laws.
2. Adblock Plus-- really effectively shuts down almost all popups and ads.

Chrome has HTTP Switchboard. It's like the Iron Curtain separating me from bad web things.

My Ad-Block is working fine.
Maybe try reinstalling?

I did have to reinstall it.
Also, I am not a fan of Chrome because it crashes on me too much.
