New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 3.0.1 (Nov 9, 2017)

  • This release adds many translations that were missing in the Adblock Plus 3.0 release. There are no changes beyond that.

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 3.0 (Nov 6, 2017)

  • With Mozilla disallowing classic extensions in Firefox 57, Adblock Plus 3.0 is our first version based on the Web Extensions framework. The significant changes introduced here are unfortunate but sadly unavoidable.
  • This is particularly visible in the user interface:
  • The ABP icon in the toolbar will now display the number of blocked ads (optional, can be disabled). This replaces the status information in the tooltip.
  • The toolbar icon will no longer open a native menu but rather a pop-up. This one uses an old design, we want to improve it soon.
  • The options page is not a native dialog but a web page now. It should be easier to use, but it is lacking much of the functionality that Firefox users got used to. We plan to add more functionality to it in future.
  • The issue reporter works mostly the same as it did before, but it won't flag common issues locally at this point. Also, it will collect less information than it did before. We'll keep improving it.
  • The "Block element" dialog offers less assistance than it did before, we will improve that as well.
  • As to the good news:
  • We largely fixed the performance degradation which has been an issue since we switched to a different storage format with Adblock Plus 2.9. The root issue is gong to be addressed in Firefox 57.
  • The experimental element hiding emulation syntax is now available in Firefox as well.
  • Blocking WebRTC connections is also possible in Firefox now.
  • With this being a massive change, there are some known issues left which should be addressed in another release soon:
  • The "Block element" dialog doesn't work in Firefox 57 under some circumstances.
  • On Firefox 57 for Android, the Adblock Plus menu item opens the (partly dysfunctional) pop-up rather than the options page
  • In older Firefox versions such as Firefox 50, saving custom filters won't update the list and you need to reload the options page to see your changes.
  • Abp:subscribe links sometimes won't work in Firefox 57.

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 2.9.1 (Jun 8, 2017)

  • Counting filter hits is now disabled by default, to alleviate performance issues experienced by some users (can be enabled again under "Options" if necessary).
  • Fixes regression in Adblock Plus 2.9, extension being broken in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 2.9 (May 25, 2017)

  • This release lays important groundwork for the Web Extensions migration. The way Adblock Plus stores its data has changed drastically, though for users everything should stay exactly the same. The new location of your filters and subscriptions is the browser-extension-data/{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}/storage.js file in your Firefox profile, the same data will be used by the Adblock Plus build based on the Web Extensions platform once it is ready.
  • Additional changes:
  • The hidden data_directory and please_kill_startup_performance preferences have been removed.
  • It is now possible to use { and } in CSS property filters.

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 2.8.2 (Nov 23, 2016)

  • Improved the way CSS property filters match elements.

  • Fixed blockable items list slowing down page loading.
  • Pop-ups using data: URLs and similar unusual schemes can be blocked now.
  • When selecting keyboard shortcuts, more shortcut keys already in use by the browser can be recognized. This will change the shortcut key to show Blockable items list from Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-V to Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-U for pretty much everybody.

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 2.8.1 (Oct 28, 2016)

  • Fixed a regression in Adblock Plus 2.8, filters weren't loaded completely for users who enabled please_kill_startup_performance preference

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 2.8 (Oct 25, 2016)

  • Reworked element hiding functionality, improved its performance and eliminated unexpected side-effects.
  • There is a special $websocket type option now to block WebSocket requests, the type was previously considered to be other here.
  • Our toolbar icon will look better on high-resolution screens.
  • Removed feature selection from the first-run page until the features can be removed similarly easily.

  • Fixed: A regression in pop-up blocking functionality caused websites to be mistakenly considered pop-ups under some circumstances.
  • Corrected handling of frames with srcdoc attribute.
  • Fixed and improved search functionality in Filter Preferences, was partially broken in Firefox nightly builds.

New in Adblock Plus for Firefox 2.7.3 (Apr 27, 2016)
