I have AdBLockPlus (free version) installed and have not had any issues until today. Firefox did some updates and now the Add-In is no longer working. I have checked that it is specifically turned on for the websites I'm visiting and I've tried turning it off and back on to no avail.

Thanks, I see that AdBlockPlus was last updated on May 3.

I seem to have solved it myself. I turned off the extension and then turned it back on, and then I closed down Firefox and restarted it (for the second time since the update) and now it's working.

Have you checked whether there is an update for the extension?
