I've installed Adblock Plus 2.7.1. I can't check the filter list. When I go to the preference, I can't click on the "Filter & preferences..." button, also "Count filter & hits", "Sync Adblock Plus settings", "Show useful notifications", "Show in toolbar".

I tried to subscribe a list in "https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions" but an error screen show: """ The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (abp) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. 

   You might need to install other software to open this address.

Again, we see the typical response from Freezefox so-called support. They consistently pass the buck. This adblocker problem is with `all' adblock addons, not just Adblocker Plus.

Let's let the question owner (quydau35) verify that first. :)
