So I just noticed that Adblock Plus is not working on my computer. It says that it's enabled and everything. I think that this happened sometime yesterday, since I seem to recall spotting an ad yesterday. I have no idea why it happened.
In my search to determine what was wrong, on a hunch I checked the preferences section. And that's where I discovered the problem. All my filters are gone. Every last one. In other words, adblock plus is running without blocking anything because it doesn't have anything to judge what to block. I haven't touched the filters since I had Firefox 3, so I don't even remember how to make the filters anymore, which means unless I get a little help in setting up at least some basic filters, I'm stuck blocking every ad I see individually until all the sites I commonly visit no longer show me ads.
Anyone have explanation and/or help to offer me?
