I deleted subscriptions in my adblocker plus, now it's not working at all?

I was watching a video last night, and I ended up accidentally blocking my video from playing because I told adblocker to block it. I went to my subscriptions thinking if I deleted the two subscriptions I had, it would make the video come back up again. Well, instead of playing the video, adblocker is not blocking popups at all. Ads are coming up on every website I'm on. I tried deleting adblocker and re-adding it, but nothing changes. Is there any way I can fix this?

Adblock Plus does nothing without "filters" being installed or created by the user manually. Those subscriptions provided the "filters". By deleting those 2 subscriptions you rendered ABP ineffective. https://adblockplus.org/en/about#workings https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions

All of your Abode software is out of date. Security Issue: Update your Flash Player v16.0.0.296

Type about:addons<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)

Select Extensions, locate the adblock add-on, and remove it. Restart Firefox. Now reinstall adblock from Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).

Thank you so much. I just had to add a few subscriptions and it worked.
