[dba-Tech] AdBlock for Firefox 15

Hello All,

Following Jim's email below, I decided to check my version of FF.

I then clicked on Jim's link to see the demo of the game.
I think saw a mention of AdBlock for FF
I then watched a video of Adblock
I then installed it
I am not typing in Gmail for the first time since 2004 with no Ads on the
right :)
I just logged into FB and their ads are blocked also.

What is the downside for me ?

Mark
