Adblock causing many pages to display as text (Win7/FF 24.0)

Post by Drew.J.Harrison »

When enabled a large number of sites (including this one) appear as the text version of the site. It just started happening a few days ago. Not sure what changed but it's pretty much impossible to surf the web now with it enabled. I am using the following:

Windows 7 Professional (SP1)
Firefox 24.0

Any help is appreciated.

I just tried it out and it hasn't messed with the MIME-types like that.

(My best guess is that something is changing all the MIME-types from text/html to text/plain.)
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
