Adblock Plus

Apologies, but I can't find this referenced anywhere else, so I'm asking anyway.

I've had ABP installed for a long time, and about a week ago it suddenly went a little haywire. When ABP is installed, I can't see any graphics at all on any site. Things as simple as the Google logo disappear.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both ABP and Firefox, to no luck. I want to keep ABP installed, but it's moving me back to the Paleolithic era of web browsing.

I've checked to see if there's any "*.*" listing within ABP, and there isn't. I'm not using anything else, and I'm not technical enough to figure out what I might have screwed up. The only FF error I get is "Fixplatformlinks is not installed", with the following line of code:

<p class="install-button platform-ALL"><a href="/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/15307/adblock_plus__45_0.7.5.1__45_fx__43_tb__43_sm__43_fl.xpi" id="installTrigger15307" addonName="Adblock Plus" addonIcon="/en-US/firefox/images/addon_icon/1865" addonHash="sha1:9888a45f3ed75f6011a5d9b92821df7493e4fe74" onclick="return install(event,document.getElementById('installTrigger15307').getAttribute('addonName'), document.getElementById('installTrigger15307').getAttribute('addonIcon'), document.getElementById('installTrigger15307').getAttribute('addonHash'));" ><span class="install-green-button"><span class="install-button-text">Install Now </span></span></a></p><script type="text/javascript">setTimeout(function() { fixPlatformLinks("1865",document.getElementById('installTrigger15307').getAttribute('addonName'));},0);</script> </div>

Help!!

Hi, Dan. I've never run across that problem, but I'll give it a go.

What happens if you merely disable ad blocking by middle-clicking the ABP icon? Does the problem go away then?

I've checked to see if there's any "*.*" listing within ABP, and there isn't.

Right-click the ABP icon to open the blockable items display. All blocked items will be highlighted with red text along with an indication of which filter caused the block. Disable those filters one at a time until you find out which one is causing you a problem.

Hope this helps. Let us know whether it does.

Then I believe Adblock Plus has nothing to do with your problem. Maybe a code in the UserContent folder ?
Do you know how to access your firefox profile ?

Just in case: make sure that "Load images automatically" (or something similar, I do not use the English versio) in Firefox options is checked.
