After installing AdBlock Plus I can't quit Firefox without force quitting - help!

Firefox

I installed Adblock plus and immediately noticed several issues.

It took forever to bypass the NY Times opening ad and get to the real front page - troublesome, and time-consuming but at least I avoided the ad.

More importantly, I couldn't quit Firefox without force quitting. If I used Command Q or selected Quit Firefox from the menu, I got the spinning beachball of death.

When I disabled Adblock, the problem persisted. When I uninstalled Adblock Plus the problem was resolved and I could quit Ff in my usual manner.

Any solutions here or do I just forget about Adblock Plus - too bad, it seems like a great idea even though it slowed down NYT (it was faster just hitting the skip ad button after I uninstalled Adblock Plus)

Problem solved. Trashed folder for Adblock Plus and reinstalled. Disabled Status-4-Evar and Adblock Plus works and I don't have to force quit to get out of Firefox.
