Firefox's Ad Block

[Mommalina]

XP Pro, Firefox 37.0.1

Recently I was asked by FF if I wanted to install a better
version of FF (or something like that). It wiped out my
add-ons, including Ad Block.

I'd like to re-install Ad Block. FF offers different versions.

Is Flash Block 40.20.13 what I need? (It only has a 3-star rating.)

Or is Ads No More 2.1 better? (Also 3-star rating).

I'm sorry I ever "upgraded." Was satisfied with whatever it was I had.

Let me confuse you even more:

I'm pretty sure that you want AdBlock Plus for Firefox.
I believe it's what most Firefox users use.

Gee whiz, FF could not have made it more complicated. I
clicked something like check add-ons. You'd think they'd
have had AdBlock Plus first on the list. I'm not sure it was
even on the list!



Again, thanks very much, Cindy.

You're welcome, Lina, anytime!

Here is a better alternative to adblock+.

My Dumb Question of the Day:

Can I have two different adblocks installed on same computer?

Although my Ad Block Plus works fine along with Ad Muncher, I assume
your answer is no to 2 adblocks.

I'd install the adblock you suggest, AWS, if I had another computer on
which to test it first - no such luck.

What do you like about it? Anyone else try it?

Thanks.

Hi Mommalina.
I am running Adblock Plus and ublock together with no problems I can see to date.
Just adds more filters is my reasoning. I see no conflicts.

 

[AWS]

I had them both running at the same time also without issues.

Did you mean "without" issue? Bob
Thought it may be a typo

 

[AWS]

Yes without.

 

[Mommalina]

AWS and DSTM, do you also have AdMuncher or other similar
software on your computer(s)?

I know that Dougie uses Ad Muncher and Ad Block Plus, Lina.

I'm not sure about Bob.

I switched over to uBlock awhile back.
Found it was actually better than AdBlocker.
