    Well, i guess most of you know that FF plugin Adblock blocks not only unwanted ads and pop-ups but also adsense ads

    Recently, i put up adsense on my blog, and it was not showing on FF, whereas Chrome and IE showed adsense!

    Any ideas on what to do about it? It hurts revenues!

    Hahaha, so you're using adblock and now you're complaining about your own earnings? Too funny..
    Anyway, I don't use adblock, and adblock is used mainly by technically minded people (not all) so do sites for non technically minded people.

    Say thank you to all browsers for not having adblock enabled by default, that would be another story!

    You use adblock because you are use internet pro, but most of normal users dont use adblock. So, you don't bother about it ^^

    That's not true. More people are installing it and it's a trend. There wasn't any adblocking when IE3 was around...

    There is no adblocking add on enabled by default with Firefox. You should use such add on like Adblocker plus and must enable it to block Adsense ads or similar adverts. But built in popup blocker is enabled by default. Popup blocker doesn't affect adsense ads.
