Moderators Andavari Posted October 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I would've never known about this filter subscription had it not become available in Adblock for Chrome, it adds in allot of protection. How to block malware domains with Adblock Plus in Mozilla Firefox Instructions: 1. Install Adblock Plus first if you don't already have it: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/1865 2. Open Adblock Plus. 3. Click: Add filter subscription 4. Click: Add a different subscription 5. Manually input the 'subscription title' as: Malware Domains 6. Manually input the 'filter list location' as: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/malwaredomains_full.txt Edit: Jump to post #4 by eL_PuSHeR for better and easier instructions on getting this subscription and others to work in Adblock Plus.

Moderators mta Posted October 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2013 very cool, just added it to my adblock list. thanks for that. one question, that list made by malwaredomains, i take it that will need to be manually updated in adblock plus ? there doesn't seem to be an auto-update feature. looks very similar to the HOSTS MVPS methodology. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted October 24, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2013 i take it that will need to be manually updated in adblock plus ? there doesn't seem to be an auto-update feature. I only started using it just before I made this topic, so I don't know. I did see a reference that it needs to be updated daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have found out that it's easier to uninstall completely Adblockplus and then reinstalling it. It will show a menu offering several new features... namely (block malware domains, remove Facebook and Twitter "like" buttons and prevent web usage tracking). For Firefox you need to manually delete two files containing "adblock" word before reinstalling. If anyone knows of an easier method, please post it. I don't know why the new setup menu doesn't come up after autoupdating ABP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will show a menu offering several new features... That is easier! I followed your instructions and it showed a 1st Use page to enable those other subscriptions. Strange how it was never available when upgrading/over-installing Adblock Plus versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted November 6, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted November 6, 2013 I also tried that 'Fanboy's Social Blocking List' but had to remove it because it causes far too much stalling of pages, and pages not displaying correctly.
