    So today I noticed that ads are getting through to me on firefox. Today they appeared on google, youtube, facebook, and the msn website. I reinstalled my OS and when I did the usual steps of installing firefox and adblock, and adding http://*.googlesyndication.com/* to the blacklist, I realized that adblock was not doing its job. this looks like a new version of adblock but to continue using it the way I was familiar with, I downgraded to firefox 8 and to adblock plus 1.3.10

    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I was still using firefox 8 before I reinstalled mac os this morning and everything was normal.:shrug: This is a mac mini running mac os 10.5.8 server, before it was just mac os 10.5.8.

    Install noscript, it'll handle the rest and make your life a PITA every step of the way.

    On one of it's latest update adblock started accepting "non-intrusive" ads by default.

    You should go on the adblock preference and uncheck this if you really don't like ads at all.

    Unleash the holy power of that motherfucker, combine it with MSE, Malware Bytes and Comodo and good luck ever seeing a virus or an ad, anything nasty in particuarly tbh.
