Hi...
This morning I discovered that Twitter "promoted tweets" had started appearing in my Twitter home feed on Firefox (Windows 10 Pro). I tried re-starting my PC, checked for Adblock Plus updates, etc. Still there. It was working fine last night.
Is something in progress to address this problem?

Re: adblock plus stopped blocking Twitter promoted tweets
I experienced this same issue a while back ... could be at the time of the original post, but I don't recall exactly. Then the problem went away. But, a few days ago it started again. Very annoying since every fifth tweet or so is an ad in the form of a promoted tweet. Most of them I just block and then I don't see that particular company any more, but some of them are sites like CNN where someone might share content I was interested in. I.e., I don't follow CNN, but I do follow Daniel Dale who works there and from time to time he will post a video or something from CNN. My experience in the prior incident suggests that blocking for the sake of ads would also block these other tweets. So, I would really like AdBlock Plus to go back to blocking these.

Happened again. Some time after my last post, the ads went away, so I figured a fix had come out. A couple of days ago they returned. Very annoying.
