Problems with Filterset G

Hi,
There appears to be a compatibility problem with the last two versions of Adblock Plus and Filterset G 0.3.1.1.
The 0.7.5.2 and the 0.7.5.3 versions of Adblock Plus seem to be causing a "Not Installed" message to appear in the Options menu of the Filterset G. The Filterset G GUI states:

"Installed Filterset G Version: Not Installed"

We are also getting a "Not Installed" in the Update Message that appears when there is an update to the Filterset G.
There are lots of us complaining on the Filterset G forum about this problem assuming that the issue is with Filterset G, but when I rolled back the Adblock Plus to the 0.7.5.1 version, the issue is gone.
I was hoping that we could try to figure this out here.
Can someone help us?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a link to the forum at Filterset G, in case anyone is interested:

Actually, Filterset.G Updater 0.3.1.1 was released to be compatible with Adblock Plus 0.7.5.2/3. If it doesn't work, that's something Michael McDonald should look at.

Edit: I looked at the source code and see now that Michael changed it in one place while leaving a dozen others that had to be corrected as well. I will send him an email.

Thank you so much for your immediate response.
This has been driving us crazy. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Adblock Plus is a great addition to the Firefox extension family. I couldn't see using Firefox without it.

considering there hasnt been any updates to G's list for a while, feels like a lost cause having this extension sitting on your computer doing nothing.

... a LONG while

That extension hasn't had a workout in months, has it?

It seems as though if it wasn't for your help, Fanboy, that the whole forum would have been dead for a while. Seems like you are the only one answering questions from users there. It's nice of you to keep helping out g's uses. But I think it may be coming to the point when people will finally start getting nasty in there because things are changing all the time ... but g's filterset isn't.
