    The part where you type adblock. I can't find where to do it. I am using FF right now to type this. Don't like to tool bar either.

    The Ad Block is extra credit, I don't think it's mandatory. Did the pop ups stay away?
    Toolbars can be turned off and on on the view menu.

    try this-go to this website in the firefox browser.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fir.../adblock-plus/

    click on add to firefox

    You may have to subscribe to filters. You can do that after adblock is installed. Just go to the preferences. Tools/adblock plus/preferences.

    Firefox is pretty customizable. When I first switched to it, it was hard to get used to but I did eventually. Now it's my most used browser (I use chrome for some sites).

    Good call Gale, As with most computer things, there's more than one way to do everything
    I don't subscribe to any filters, just use Adblock Plus plain and I've never had popups or advertising on the QB while using FF.

    It should have automatically installed it. You'd have a small stop sign looking icon (mine is on the lower left side of my browser). If you don't see it, try closing and reopening firefox.

    Try this. Go to tools/add-ons and a new window will open up. See if adblock plus shows up on that new page. If it's there, and there is a button that says "enable", click on it. You might have to restart firefox after that.

    eta: what you're looking at is your bookmarks bar. The icon for adblock is on the bottom of my browser-not the top.

    Wait, try this. Go to tools and see if adblock is on the tools menu that pops out. If it's not, then it didn't get installed correctly. When you add it from the page I linked you might have to approve the installation.
