Yes so when i go on my websites some stupid blank spot shows where my ads use to be (I got really annoyed by this ad it kept telling me to download this flash plugin thingy and i got ABP Ad block plus but now it blocks the ad but leaves a huge blank where the ad use to be). So can someone help me to get rid of the blank spot because it ruins my games and videos and a lot of my websites. D:

Chosen solution

Ads not by this site is result of adware existing on your PC. It might be plugin, it might be some separate process. Scan with adwcleaner, adaware, spybot first. It might be some of your games were distributed with "little extra".

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
