firefox Adblock not blocking ads, can not reinstall

[jnelsoninjax]

Just upgraded to Waterfox 14.0.1 and suddenly Adblock Plus is not working, the icon is nowhere to be found, and it was not blocking banner ads. I uninstalled it and attempted to reinstall it, but there is an error with the download, I have checked firewall permissions and everything else, but it refuses to download. Any ideas what to do?

Have you disabled addon compatibility checking ?

Just found this addon that claims to do it for you

https://addons.mozil...kcompatibility/

or manually from about:config

extensions.checkcompatibility

Reinstall Waterfox / delete old profile ?

It has nothing to do with compatibility. It simply will not install again, it states that an error occurs when downloading.

try a fresh profile just to make sure it's not just your profile messing up (open waterfox through the run window [win+r] and put a -p flag at the end)

get the testing/dev version and also manually download and install the .xpi file....

OK, so I went right to adblocks page and had it install the add-on, instead of me installing it, and it worked. :/ Weird issue, but at least it installed...
