Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox-adblock

After install and restart of firefox, there's a error message that the plugin has some conflict with chrome. If I click on ok, firefox starts normally but without adblock.

Adblock is a firefox extension that we can not track. As you may know Fx is a huge application and has adding outside pieces may break it. Also, I can not reproduce this. I would file a bug at http://adblockplus.org/en/bugs

I was too quick to judge, my apologies. Just installed it, time to test this package.

Just tested, this package is not compatible with 2.0.0.1 and needs fixing. Secondly, I am attaching a screenshot for the error.
