Posted April 12, 20159 yr 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.) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-block/?src=api' Or is Ads No More 2.1 better? (Also 3-star rating). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ads-no-more/?src=api I'm sorry I ever "upgraded." Was satisfied with whatever it was I had. :crazy:

April 13, 20159 yr I'm pretty sure that you want AdBlock Plus for Firefox. I believe it's what most Firefox users use. :D https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
April 13, 20159 yr Author 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! :ouch: Again, thanks very much, Cindy.
April 13, 20159 yr You're welcome, Lina, anytime! ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~

April 14, 20159 yr Author Here is a better alternative to adblock+. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/ublock/ 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.
April 14, 20159 yr 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.:) Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.

April 15, 20159 yr Author AWS and DSTM, do you also have AdMuncher or other similar software on your computer(s)?
April 15, 20159 yr 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 know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
April 16, 20159 yr I switched over to uBlock awhile back. Found it was actually better than AdBlocker.
