yes, and I hate the way its 'content blocker' works, especially the way it carelessly suggests stupid wildcards by default. It's too stupid.

Scratch that I remembered wrong. It doesn't suggest stupid wildcards by default. It FORCES stupid wildcards by default. Which is even more stupid.

Ups forget about this for now, I forgot I use the new dev build, the stable version of ABP should still have a fairly visible tab.

I've selected to show AdBlock tabs on flash and java objects, but there are no tabs showing, in fact web pages are all shown as "not a remote page" with no blockable items at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling AdBlock Plus with the same results.

Running AdBlock Plus v0.7.2.4, uninstalled FiltersetG as recommended. I had AdBlock before and it worked perfectly, so what's wrong with Plus?

Any ideas?

Apologies, I thought the AdBlock tab problem and the "not a remote page" problem were two different problems. :oops:

Well, I'm not really an expert programmer so I can't say for sure, but it's likely that they are linked and caused by the fact that your ABP not being able to run as it should.

It's also that I like it when all issues and notices are collected in one thread, it makes things easier for those trying to help you.

You're probably right in that the two problems are linked, but I'm not very knowledgeable with AdBlock Plus anyway. I've received a reply on the other thread and I'll remember your advice in future. Thanks for the tip. :wink:
