    Exclamation Adblock Plus 2.9 for Firefox

    FYI...

    Adblock Plus 2.9 for Firefox released
    - https://adblockplus.org/releases/adb...refox-released
    2017-05-25

    Install Adblock Plus 2.9 for Firefox

    "This release lays important groundwork for the Web Extensions migration. The way Adblock Plus stores its data has changed drastically, though for users everything should stay exactly the same (issue 5048). The new location of your filters and subscriptions is the browser-extension-data/{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}/storage.js file in your Firefox profile, the same data will be used by the Adblock Plus build based on the Web Extensions platform once it is ready.
    Additional changes:
    - The hidden data_directory and please_kill_startup_performance preferences have been removed.
    - It is now possible to use { and } in CSS property filters (issue 4684)."

    Exclamation Adblock Plus 2.9.1 for Firefox

    FYI...

    Adblock Plus 2.9.1 for Firefox released
    - https://adblockplus.org/releases/adb...refox-released
    2017-06-07

    Install Adblock Plus 2.9.1 for Firefox

    "Unfortunately, the Adblock Plus 2.9 release didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped for. Most importantly, the performance degradation caused by the new data storage turned out more severe than we expected, some users were experiencing regular noticeable browser hangs. While the performance of reading and saving Adblock Plus filters hasn’t improved yet, we turned off filter hit counts by default in Adblock Plus 2.9.1 as a first consequence to make sure the data no longer needs to be saved that often (issue 5298). Users who need this functionality can turn it back on by clicking the ABP icon, going into “Options” and checking “Count filter hits.”
    We will be looking into other ways to improve this, even though the main issue can only be resolved by the Firefox developers. It also wasn’t noticed before release that the new data storage doesn’t work in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, so these users ended up with filters being reset on each restart. This has also been resolved in Adblock Plus 2.9.1 (issue 5279, issue 5285), the original data should show up again now..."
