I just accidentally deleted my Adblock Plus, (which had my own customize blocking rules) is it possible to restore this ???
Hi, Arrgh.. help!!
So I just accidentally deleted my Adblock Plus, (which had my own customize blocking rules) is it possible to restore this ??? (i'm blaming it on my strawberry yogurt.. for distracting me cause it was so good.....*note to self.....do not eat strawberry yogurt while on computer.) ..sigh!
It does seem that i still have a "adblockplus" file that is in my firefox profile files (though i guess that could be the file for the "Element Hiding Helper extension for Adblock Plus" which wasn't deleted.) . . .i would very much like to restore it, as i mentioned above i had many of my own customized blocking rules, along with rogue antivirus/security/software, phishing, malvertising, malware blocklist, etc..
In the mean time i'm going to copy those "adblockplus" files that are in my firefox profile files (that i mentioned above) ..in a zip file on my desktop in case it goes missing, and go to "Adblock Plus" and add it along with a few of it's blocking rules for now.

You might just have to reinstall it to get it back.
Hi Teagan, were you able to recover your rules?
Many times, when you remove an extension, its preferences are left behind, so there's a good chance that reinstalling the extension will enable you to recover them. OR, it may reset them, which would be the opposite of what you want.
Could you provide any advice for future users who have this question?
