Adblock Plus picks up where Adblock left off. It is a content filtering plug-in for the Firefox browser. It is both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker. It allows the user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address. Every time a webpage loads, it will intercept and disable the elements matching your filters.
- “Block” tab on Flash and Java is no longer permanently visible
- Diagnostics page under chrome://adblockplus/content/errors.html
- Handling of HTTP redirects
- Blocking entire domains with filters like ||example.com^
- Domain exceptions in element hiding rules
- Performance and memory use improvements

Working good with both Seamonkey and Firefox. You don't know how valuable this plug in is till you use a pc/browser that doesn't have this. I know IE has its IE pro, but it doesn't seem to catch as many ads as this plug in.

This plus Rick752's excellent filters (EasyList, EasyElements) form a powerful couple against nasty ads on most websites. I wonder why this hasn't been built into Firefox by default.

While it is true that you can't help support a friendly website by clicking ads you CAN'T SEE....
I can't imagine browsing without this necessary extension.
