Description
Environment
OS: Windows 10
Browser: Firefox 56.0.2 64-bit (but same problem with Firefox 57)
Adblock Plus version: 3.0.1
Enabled Filter lists:
- EasyPrivacy+EasyList
- facebook annoyances blocker
- Message "seen" Remover for Facebook
(i had additional filters running previously, but i disabled them in case the cause of the problem was a conflict they were causing)
How to reproduce
I don't think i know what this means...
Observed behaviour
Nearly all facebook annoyances had been successfully blocked for me for many months, but now they have all suddenly returned. Including ads and "suggestions" in the both the sidebar and newsfeed.
This occurred suddenly after I upgraded to Firefox 57 (Quantum). But i disliked many other things about Firefox 57 too, so i downgraded back to the previous release 56.0.2, but it made no difference! All the previously blocked "facebook annoyances" are still there!
Expected behaviour
Until a couple weeks ago, nearly ALL "facebook annoyances" had been successfully blocked for many months, thanks to the "Block all facebook annoyances" list at (from facebook.adblockplus.me).
Now they have all returned. The expected behavior i'd like to see is for them all to be blocked again.

Description edit, re: "How to reproduce":
Go to https://www.facebook.com/
Log on with any facebook account.
Note the multiple ads and "suggested groups" and "marketplace" offers in the sidebar and newsfeed (see attached screen capture: https://issues.adblockplus.org/attachment/ticket/6165/fb%20ads.jpg).

Hubert please could you see if you can reproduce this as described and help me triage this issue? I figure it could be related to your work with the #?# filters.

The "suggested groups" aren't handled by the filters ; I believe this is a deliberate choice from the filter authors. I believe it the same for the marketplace too, but I never get these (with or without Adblock Plus).

@unblocked
Try refreshing your filters and see if it's being removed now.

- Resolution set to rejected

Sounds like a filter issue. Let me know if that didn't help after all and I can reopen.
Screengrab of some of the FB sidebar ads that were previously blocked but have now returned with a vengence.
