I cannot use Addblock Plus on Firefox properly

Dear Firefox Support,

I currently use the add-on Addblock Plus for Firefox to block advertisements, most of all because I use Yahoo, which is full of advertisements. However, when I install the add-on onto Firefox, the add-on works, but only for a few days, at most. After this period, the add-on disappears from my Firefox browser. Could you please tell me what is happening here? Any help would be most welcolme,

Yours Faithfully, Marek Wesolowski

That is very odd. I have used AdBlock for years.

Just In Case; You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
