This started appearing yesterday. I do not use Edge. It is showing up on Firefox every single time I open it.

As of 16th November 2019,, Firefox V 70.0.1, I too get the same page telling me the installation was successful.

Who exactly has taken ownership of this issue as I fear for my browser security.

I got same issue ~3 weeks back. Firefox version 70.0.1 (64-bit). No new installs there done. Updates to FF and adblock plus were possible as it is going by default automatically. Region - Europe.

@Pedro4646

Thanks for those details. Have you also tried a reinstall? Some users have found success by removing Adblock Plus using the the instructions in this link https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/un ... s?5de59f86, and reinstalling via https://adblockplus.org. Let us know if this helps!

[quote="KAS"]Since latest Adblock Plus update I get a new tab opened with "Installation Successful" every time I open Microsoft Edge... [/quote]

Same issue here except with the latest version of FIREFOX. I'm also running Ublock Origin and cookies are being deleted for all but whitelisted websites.
