I accidentally clicked "Block" while hovering over a link in Gmail and now I can't click the link. How do I unblock the link I accidentally blocked?

I was trying to click a link in Gmail, but the "Block" bubble popped up and I accidentally clicked the "Block" bubble instead of the link. Now I can't click the "Attach File" link in Gmail and I can't figure out how to unblock the link.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I clicked the small, yellow "Block" bubble.

That sounds like an AdBlock Plus blockable element tab, right?

Try removing the ad blocking rule from Tools -> AdBlock Plus Preferences.

Find the rule that looks like Gmail ("My Ad Blocking Rules" should be at the top), select it and press the Del key or right click and choose Delete.
