Starting today, after the most recent update, Firefox 8 on Win 7, when I open GMail, I can see the list view, but when I try to open an email to read or reply, I get an error saying GMail cannot load the rich text editor, and I see only the snippet, without the actual content of the email.

It seems to be caused by Adblock Plus 1.3.10. Temporarily disabling it allows me to read and compose email normally.

Disabling adbock plus works on XP too

Here's hoping that AdBlock can make an update that fixes this, because it's a royal pain having to switch back and forth. On my Mac, everything works fine.

But thanks.
