One of the best known and simplest Firefox add-ons, AdBlock Plus effectively blocks online ads from a predefined list of ad providers. You can quickly personalize that list by clicking on the AdBlock Plus "stop sign" button it installs on either your navigation toolbar or your status bar. Adblock Plus runs unobtrusively in the background, and right-clicking an ad brings up message box, through which you can easily add to the list of blocked ads. Removing an ad from the blocked list also is as simple as clicking and choosing the appropriate option. Via the same list, you can customize certain sites and pages to show their ads, but keep all others blocked. This is especially useful for when AdBlock Plus interferes with streaming videos that air short ads when you play them.
While similar extensions exist for Firefox, none has the reputation of this one, which will also work in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

"No icon, no longer blocking ads"
Version: Adblock Plus for Mozilla Firefox 2.2.3
Pros
When it worked, it was terrific. Blocked almost all ads and could be customized.
Cons
New version--or latest update to Firefox--no longer blocks ANY ads and there is no icon to bring up the window to check or add filters. I even installed two additional Adblock extensions to try to fix the problem, but they haven't done anything.
Summary
Looking for something else. If Adblock can't fix whatever's wrong in the next couple days, there's no use having it at all.

"It still didn't block the crappy annoying ads"
Version: Adblock Plus for Mozilla Firefox 2.2.3
Pros
It blocks ad on other websites, still no problem!
Cons
Biggest Con is- It still doesn't block the crappy annoying Video ads on hulu! It used to block hulu video ads way back, when hulu found a way to bypass adblock, I'm hoping adblock will get their act together update their program so it can block hulu annoying video ads!
Summary
I hope on their future updates that it will block hulu annoying video ads just like the good old days!
