  • Priority changed from Unknown to P4
  • Ready set

I'm setting priority to P4 for now. Sure, our tools don't know how to deal with these exceptions properly - but at the current stage such exceptions are experimental. We want to see whether they work in general, tool support isn't important.

  • 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.
