Description
Environment
OS: Android 4.0.4 (non-rooted)
Browser: Firefox 34.0 for Android
installed ABP: 2.6.6
Filter list: Easylist
How to reproduce
- Install Firefox 34.0 for Android and the ABP 2.6.6 addon
- Check in ABP settings, there's no subscription selected by default: the "Filter Subscriptions" is set to empty. Therefore, choose "EasyList".
- Visit any page that contains ads.
Observed behaviour
The ads are not blocked in any page.
(I've also tried disabling+reenabling ABP
or even uninstalling+reinstalling ABP & then setting manually "EasyList" once more)
Expected behaviour
The ads should be blocked.

I have been been having similar issues. ABP isn't blocking ads and it is maddening.
Viewing the ABP per-site disable/enable entry on the Firefox menu suggests to me that the problem may lie there. It showed an option to enable on a site I was viewing (that I had not previously disabled) and it is keeping that site listed when I go to a new site.

I believe that, what's missing from ABP for Firefox for Android is:
- to display the currently downloaded+active filter list (incl.the last download date), and
- a button to force-download/update the chosen filter list.
Currently it only offers a dropdown list (to choose a filter subscription from),
but you can't tell if it's downloaded+active or not.
PS. Here is a screenshot of ABP options: http://i.imgur.com/C9ob1rAl.png

- Resolution set to rejected
- Status changed from new to closed
Mass-closing all bugs in Adblock Plus for Firefox module, the codebase of Adblock Plus 3.0 belongs into Platform and User-Interface modules. Old bugs are unlikely to still apply.
Maybe just a delay in loading the filter list. Works fine for me.
