Question

Help answer this question below.

Why can't I see images on Wikipedia unless I click all the way through to http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/* ? Firefox seems to suddenly be blocking images from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*, yet AdBlock shows that it is blocking zero items/images.

    Are you using Adblock or Adblock Plus?
    Adblock for Mozilla has not be updated in ages:
    "It works, but I think it still has a big ol' memory leak. I use Adblock Plus these days, which was forked from the Adblock codebase.

    "This add-on leaks memory massively. With it my firefox used up to 1 GB. Use AdblockPlus instead.

    Wikipedia sould not be included as an ad block...it has to do with firefox and your permissions on your security...you could always switch search engines
