I need an ad blocker that is compatible with firefox version 5.o. I have heard there are issuse with ad blockers and there ability to run on this version without issues. Is there an ad blocker I can use without causing other problems? If not I'll put up with the ads!

Chosen solution

If you look at the Versions Information at the bottom of the Adblock Plus downloads page, you'll see this:
Works with: 

   * Mobile 1.1 - 8.0a1
   * Thunderbird 3.0 - 8.0a1
   * Firefox 3.5 - 8.0a1
   * SeaMonkey 2.0 - 2.5a1

Adblock Plus supports the 3 pre-release versions of Firefox, which are currently being developed, in addition to Firefox 5 and many previous older versions.

Thank you. I've added it and no problems yet. Just wasn't sure. Have done things like this before and run into problems so I wanted to get some advice before doing. Like to prevent the issues if I can.
