No ABP icon in the Toolbar.

Post by ServiceRep »

After installing Adblocker Plus I do not see the usual red ABP icon in the toolbars.
I have installed and uninstalled it twice, checked all the Toolbars.
Enabled it again.
ABP is definitely enabled and is stopping ads, but no red ABP icon to be found.

I even tried installing and earlier version that works OK on my other computer.
This is a new Dell Inspiron 5620 laptop running Windows 10 home.

What is causing this? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Click on extensions button, right click on Adblock Plus oval and click on "Pin to Toolbar" menu item.

Confusing. It's opt-in system, which is difficult for newbies.

Right clicking in the ABP icon did not give me that choice.

To correct newbie Boris' advice:

After enabling ABP in Firefox,
Open Firefox and right click on the Puzzle piece icon in the top right area of the window.
Click on Pin To Toolbar.

If you would like to move the ABP icon, click on View, Toolbars, and Customize Toolbar.
And now you can grab the icon and move to what ever toolbar location you like.

Left-click, not right-click, on Puzzle (Extensions) icon.
