Filters disappearing every few hours

Post by Locutus »

My filters are disappearing. Not the custom filters--just the filter lists. (I have on my custom list a lot of the major ad networks, so I don't notice too often.)
In fact, they'd just disappeared so I readded the subscription. I visited an old post about that problem, and when I came here it was disabled again :!: :!: . Any (new) ideas?

Which Adblock Plus version are you using, which Firefox (?) version?

Firefox 3.6.3 running ABP 1.2. I'm on Ubuntu, if that helps.

Not really unfortunately... What other extensions do you have installed? We had an issue with the Ecosia add-on removing Adblock Plus subscriptions. This one has been fixed since but there might be others.

Novell Moonlight 2.99.0.7--the open-source Linux version of Silverlight. It's the beta version
Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.9rc2--not sure what this does
User Agent Switcher 0.7.2--Lets you switch the user agent.
webfav 1.17--lets you add icons to the Ubuntu Netbook Launcher (I'm using Netbook Edition)
X-Ray 0.9.1--lets you view source code tags

I'll try disabling the ones I don't really need (X-Ray, UAS, Moonlight).

Made a new discovery. They don't disappear every few hours, they disappear when I close the window. :?

Ok, that sounds like you can reproduce this issue reliably now? If so, maybe a short TeamViewer session is an option? In the end that's the only way to figure out issues that only a few people see. If you want to do this please mail me at trev@adblockplus.org.

Well it turns out that last time I'd forgotten to click "OK". :oops: But I'll keep an eye on it--I still think I've clicked OK and had them disappear.

I think ABP should prompt the user when clicking on X after doing changes.
"... changed. Do you want to save changes?" Yes/No/Cancel + checkbox "Don't ask me later"
