Just add firefox to your filter targets and you will be fine. No need for ab+ then.

I use both but with a twist. I use the standard Ad Muncher setup with up-to-date definitions. But I also use ABP with Element Hiding Helper to block a few things that still come through. Element Hiding Helper is incredibly easy to use and I highly recommend it if you have some issues with ads and don't want to write (or learn how to write) filter rules. (I do not use any other filtering set with ABP besides Element Hiding Helper.)

doesn't using both make heavy on load pages or browsing speed?

I dont recommend ad-muncher ,if u have correct mozilla addons.because ad-muncher tough very good at blocking ads, gave problems when loading flash and using scrips in browsers in several webpages.

After adblock+and filtersetupdater no ads at all:thumb:

If it does, I don't see it. When I use my laptops on a T-1, things are similar to other machines I see on the network.

Then my exclusion list will grow dynamically and soon become more annoying than the popups itself .I have done away with ad-munch.I works great for IE though.
