Ad blocker for firefox
Quote from: k圓31 on June 17, 2013, 11:34:29 PM I know that I can manually drag the plugin from Avast folders to Firefox, but I would like to get this issue resolved. As for FF or Avast implementing the change properly, all we can hope is that one of these will "blink" when they set-up a newer program build. Note: On an 圆4-bit system, specify Program Files (x86) when navigating to the sub-directories. The Firefox ad blocker also speeds up page-loading times and fights off malvertising infections. To see how an ad blocker performs while blocking ads and how many resources it uses while doing so, we have decided to put several to the test. Download Adblock Plus for Firefox to block intrusive ads, including annoying pop-ups and video ads on Youtube.

Open Firefox, and allow it permission to install the add-on. Blocking advertisements on web pages is becoming increasingly popular and an ad blocker is now one of the most installed browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Unless/until either FF is re-programed to look at the earlier location, or avast is re-programed to place the file in the newer location that FF now requires, the only "fix" available to users is to manually drag or copy the plug-in:Ĭ:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensionsįolder, locate the file, and move (or copy) it to yourĬ:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ browser\extensionsįolder.
Avast is still "installing" it in the older location, that was used by FF20 (and earlier).
The problem is that FF21 changed the location where it looks for its plug-ins. I know that I can manually drag the plugin from Avast folders to Firefox, but I would like to get this issue resolved.
