Adblock Plus for Mozilla Firefox for Windows

User Reviews

• Very good, very effective

  lorenestesMay 14, 2015

  Pros

  I have been using various versions of Adblock Plus for years, in combination with various versions of Firefox. It works exactly as advertised and is very good, if you ask me. I have never had any problem with it, whatsoever. When I get a new computer, some of the first things I do is download Firefox, bookmark CNET, and add on Adblock Plus.

  Cons

  None that I know of.

  Summary

  OMG, download it now...what are you waiting for?

• ABP allows floods of adware on your computer.

  Terry GayFebruary 26, 2015

  Pros

  None, this program is a threat your security.

  Cons

  I had ABP as an extension on my Chrome browser and my system became inundated with ad malware. I disabled ABP and cleaned up the viruses, and then reactivated it and the malware immediately became a flood again. I don't know if that is ABP's purpose, to pose as a Trojan horse and allow your computer to get hit, but I am warning everyone about downloading this program. Comodo treats it as a major threat and so does Avast. Be careful. Just because its offered by Cnet, the onus is on you to get the facts about all the software offered in here.

  Summary

  Avoid this program unless you want to spend hours running boot level scans to rid your computer of viruses. I gave it a half star because Cnet requires at least some rating otherwise I wouldn't have given it anything.

• Version 2.6.3 doesn't work, however...

  HondoJDecember 10, 2014

  Pros

  Version 2,6.6 does again. This site is two versions behind. Try: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/versions/

  Cons

  This version is out of date.

• Completely worthless, doesn't block anything anymore.

  rorschach72September 4, 2014

  Pros

  This software no longer has any pros.

  Cons

  ABP doesn't work anymore. It's been months since this software did anything useful like BLOCKING ADS. The creators of this software blame everyone other than themselves for their software not working. The ABP forums are no help at all. There is no legitimate support whatsoever.

  Summary

  Don't waste your time with this garbage. ABP doesn't work anymore.

• Not bad but causes issues

  MrTommyMarch 21, 2014

  Pros

  Blocks a lot of crap from getting on my screen.

  Cons

  Somehow it got to the point where I could not forward, reply all, or move emails to spam and Adblock Plus seemed to be the cause. When I disabled Adblock, all of a sudden I was able to do all the above. Unable to prove I was NOT a robot at sites where I was asked to type in the letters I saw. I saw NONE!

  Summary

  After much fiddling around IN Adblock I was able to get around all these problems with settings. Took a LONG time to find these controls but once found, Adblock Plus was back to working again.

• No more reliable due to certain issues in it

  DomeloMarch 15, 2014

  Pros

  It has been working wonderful when I installed it, but suddenly, it stopped working and I was getting lots of pop-ups on my screen through different sites.

  Cons

  Created a huge mess on my system. Never redirected me to the site I was viewing when once the pop-up arrised. System slowed down and started giving multiple errors.

  Summary

  Initially I started getting problems in adblock google chrome extension and later when I used firefox to get rid of it, it worked well on it for few days and then again, it did the same and I started getting lots of ads popping-up on my screen which ultimately annoyed me and I got rid of it using Adguard - Adblock, which is lighter and performance-wise better than adblock plus.

• Unobtrusive, the way an Ad Blocker should be

  maverickeMarch 7, 2014

  Pros

  --doesn't appear to slow Internet performance --doesn't replace annoying ad pop-ups with its own ("do you want to block this?") --show small tabs you can click to block an ad that it hasn't already blocked

  Cons

  --it's so unobtrusive, I'm not sure what it's doing (operating in background is a double-edged sword)
