Adblock Plus / Firefox

FYI:
When ABP extension for Firefox updated to 2.8 this week, I lost all my filter subscriptions and custom filters. I resubscribed and restored, but when I closed and reopened Firefox, they were all gone again. Every time I re-tried.

What I discovered is that I still had everything in the ABP folder in my Firefox profile and rolling back to ABP 2.7.2 cured the problem. I opened a ticket with ABP support, waiting for a reply.

Edit: Solution (from ABP Support):
Open about:config in Firefox
set extensions.adblockplus.please_kill_startup_performance to false

I decided I was really liking uBlock on Palemoon. I had noticed that my Firefox/Adblock Plus page loading was slowing to glacial speed when clicking links or doing a Google search. I disabled ABP and installed uBlock in my Firefox and now I'm barely short of instantaneous loading. Color me happy. \\|// (o o) ------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------
