Adblock Plus is "active but disabled"

Adblock Plus is "active but disabled" - a setting that I didn't make and can't reverse. This has happened with Yahoo! Webmail. I get a green Adblock Plus icon (instead of red) and ads come through on the webmail. I can't find any way to get it back to the red, which would block the ads. Is this something Yahoo has done? I uninstalled their toolbar, but that didn't help.

You must have accidentally disabled it on the page in question. If you click on the ABP icon you will see 2 options that are related to your problem

1. Disable ABP of www.xxxx.com
2. Disable on this page only

Make sure that they are both unticked.

You can also disable the filter that is whitelisting Yahoo via the list of blockable items, as described on http://adblockplus.org/en/getting_start ... -positives

These are both unticked. That's the problem--I can't un-disable it.

Nothing on this page seemed to lead to where I could get rid of whatever whitelisted item is letting these ads through and restore the RED Adblock Plus icon.
