[dba-Tech] AdBlock for Firefox 15

That is great news.

Chrome does have brute force speed but when it comes for options and
features FF surpasses every other browser out there by miles. 

Adblock is definitely a feature I will add...Thanks for the heads up.

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
