AdblockerPlus to update, but I still get ads
I get a lot of ads recently, even though AdblockerPlus is up-to-date on my browser.
When I click on certain links, a second, more small window containing ads opens behind the one I use. There is no model I see as to what sites trigger the popup - it seems random. It happens whenever I click on a link.
When I load a page from a retail site, a side bar appears on the right. It is said 'Hot Deals!' and then lists several other retailers where I could buy the same or similar product. No matter how many times I close, if I go to another page on the side or do a search, it opens again.
There is often a bar at the bottom of the screen with even more ads.
I check my extensions and Adblocker Plus seems up to date. It does not update me.
System: Computer Acer laptop
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP 1
Firefox version 28.0
AdblockerPlus: 2.5.1. Last update was on Feb. 25.
Thank you!

I am so happy with Firefox 3.6.25 (thank you), but I'm worried update the program because the requirements of system does not respond to my PC or does it? I have Win XP Pro SP2, PIII 600 MHz I still get messages on your part on updating the program but do not know if it is possible.
Stick with the version you have now. The versions of Firefox 4 + need a processor with SSE2 instruction set, as in the Intel P4 processors.
