It's the same thing really. It should work immediately.

Better leave it til the Tech boffins see the post.

Adblock Plus should start working instantly. (I'm assuming that you downloaded it via Tools > Add-ons > Extensions and 'Search all add-ons', and not from somewhere else).

If you're getting ads on the right-hand-side of this page in the column below 'Latest Posts' then Adblock Plus isn't working for some reason. Take a look under Toiols > Add-ons > Extensions to see if it's listed there. If there's an 'Enable' option, use it. Otherwise try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it.

If you've got no ads down the right-hand-side of this page, but you keep on getting advertising pop-ups, then Adblock Plus is doing what it's meant to do (i.e. blocking ads embedded in web pages). However you've got malware on your computer (producing those pop-ups) which needs a separate solution to deal with it. Download, install and run the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

(NB: When installing it, take great care to deselect the pre-ticked option to take a free trial of the Premium version).

Funnily enough that happened to me. I downloaded FF last week as a back up after reading adverse comments about Chrome. Installed ABP but was still getting adverts so went back to Chrome. Just tried FF now and no adverts!

Glad it's sorted but again you may get even faster answers in Tecnology rather than Body& Soul
