Mozillia released Firefox 3 beta 5 a few days ago so I upgraded from the beta 4 release. Unfortunately the Adblock Plus addon has not been updated yet.

I’ve been using this addon for so long and have it installed whenever I install Firefox on a computer that I’ve completely forgotten just how many annoying adverts there are on many web sites I visit. On top of that they slow down my browsing while I wait for some massive Flash movie to load or some other useless ad.

It’s so bad that I’ve actually gone back to using Firefox 2.0.0.13 that I also have installed, just to avoid the ads. Of course now I have the problem that I’ve got so used to Firefox 3 betas that going back to Firefox 2 is also pretty hard…
