FireFox AdBlocker Plugin Users Being Blocked

If you use Firefox you’re probably a big fan of their adblocker plugin-but if you use it you may find yourself blocked from accessing some webpages. The reasons why are explained at WhyFireFoxIsBlocked.com. The site states that adblockers rob site owners of revenue and that viewing pages with out the ads amounts to internet theft. They say until individual site owners are allowed to deny access to users of the ad blocking program, they will deny access to all Firefox users.
