Quite some time ago I switched to Mozilla Firefox, and installed AdBlocker. Have had NO ads since then and have been very happy with it. Ever since I've had AdBlocker, when I go to attach a file to an email I'm about to send in gmail, I see a little word "Block" pop up over "Attach a file". I just always ignored it. Now, however, I find I am unable to attach photos I want to send. When I click on that little word "Block" I get a whole menu that I don't really understand titled Add AdBlock Filter Rule.

It shows this in the "New Filter" field at top: "||mail.google.com/mail/uploader/*. Under that a "Blocking Filter" radio button is selected, and under, under "Look for "Pattern", I see the item "mail.google.com/mail/uploader/*" is selected. At the bottom of the screen is a radio button "Custom" that has https://mail.google.com/mail/uploader/uploaderapi2.swf after it, but that button is not selected.

I just removed all custom filters in an attempt to get rid of whatever is disallowing me to attach photos. But that didn't work. Any ideas? I'm lost.

If you do not want to block something, do not click on the word "Block" in the little tab. If you got rid of the blocks that you created against Google mail uploads, that should have returned things back to normal. In the Preferences window of Adblock Plus, if you use Edit > Find, you will be able to find any filters for mail.google.com and you can delete any of those.

OK. Thank you. Is there any way to get rid of that little "Block" pop up above over "Attach a file" when composing an email in Gmail? I think the problem I'm having (being prevented from attaching photos to emails) is because I may have inadvertently clicked that Block pop-up numerous times. I can't think of any time when I would want to block myself from attaching items to email I compose. So I don't really need that pop-up. How can I stop that from appearing?

BTW, I followed your instructions above (to unclick the mail.google.com items) and it worked. I can now attached photos to an email with no problem. Would still like to know how to get rid of the pop-up "Block" above "Attach of file" in the Gmail "compose" screen. Could you let me know? Thank you, in advance.

The only items where I have seen those "Block" tabs are Java and Flash. To get rid of those, right-click the ABP icon in the toolbar or add-on bar, choose Preferences, and choose Options from the menu in that window. Uncheck "Show tabs on Flash and Java".
