Why can't I install Blur (abine) on Firefox? It seems to install but then never does.

When I previously had Abine (Blur) installed a couple of years back I used to be able to click on something and see the huge number of websites that were trying to track me but were blocked by Abine. Now you've apparently taken that option away. Why? I can't seem to even install Blur as it never seems to take. What's happened to Firefox? I thought you guys were privacy-cool. Doesn't seem that way now. Has Trump gotten to you too?

What kind of problems do you have with installing Blur?

You can contact the developer of the Blur extension in case of problems, see this web page for the support URL.

Note that your Java plugin is not up-to-date (current is 8u121).

  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 11.77.2 for Mozilla browsers

The System Details List shows that you have multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0
  2. Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
