Adblock Plus not working!
Ads just aren't being blocked by Ablock. It just stopped working. I tried reinstalling it, but that did nothing. Scrolling over the icon, no items have been blocked. What do I do?

Make sure that you did subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).
You can ask advice at the Adblock Plus forum if there are problems with this extension or with a filter list or if you need help to create a filter rule to block content.
I'm already subscribed to the EasyList. As far as I can tell, none of my settings have been changed since it stopped working. They're all the same as before. I certainly didn't change any, and looking at them it looks like they're all the same.
Suggest you Google your SaveSenseLive Update for information and advice.
Does it do anything for you?
How do I remove this SaveSense?
Go to Add-ons Manager>Plug-ins>SaveSense>mark it as "Never Activate".
In your Windows7 > Control Panel>Programs & Features>look for SaveSense>Uninstall if it is there.
Look in Programs for other suspicious links.
Let us know how you got on.
It wasn't listed in the programs and features. I've actually checked this already anyways. I deactivated it in the add-ons manager, but that didn't seem to do anything.
Also look in Add-ons>Extensions for any likely culprit. A list of your extensions would help.
Norton Toolbar and Skype Click To Call (Both deactivated), Classic Theme Restorer, Norton Vulnerability Protection, Download Helper (useful tool that helps me download videos if I want - this is NOT the problem) Adblock Plus, Adblock Edge and Adblock Plus Pop-Up Addon.
My extensions have always been the same. The only exception is Edge and Pop-Up Addon which I added after the ads started.
Also, all the ads seem to be from "Supra Savings"
I've attempted to reset Firefox and use several anti-malware programs, such as Norton and Advanced System Care 7, yet the ads are still there. What do I do?
See:
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

I've already done that with each and every one of those programs.
The ads are still there. There are fewer... maybe half the amount. Could be just a coincidence though, as I doubt I could get rid of half the ads if they all come from the same adware.
If you have tried many antivirus without any luck to get rid of savesense and supra savings, ask for FREE help in this forum
