Computer Help: Adblock?
I've noticed ads in TGWTG videos I watch aren't showing up anymore (although I can still see banner ads on sites like here). I'm guessing adblock or some other plugin has been added, but I don't remember updating firefox 14.0.1 which I currently have, and I cannot sea any obvious named add on that would do such a thing. What is causing the ads to disappear and how do I alter the settings?

Adobe Acrobat, Google Update, NVIDIA 3D vision and VISION (apparently there is a difference), Shockwave Flash, Silverlight Plug-In, Windows Live Photo Gallery and Zeon Plus. Any of them block ads?

I disabled it, still no ads.

Not that either. Anyone else use the same version of firefox and seen something similar?

Re: Computer Help: Adblock?
It might be Flash acting up, because I believe that's how a lot of videos and their ads are served up. Right now on my desktop using the latest Firefox and Flash for 64-bit, if there's an ad on a youtube video, I can't watch any of it because Flash throws an error of some kind. Works fine in MSIE, though. I'm also fine on my 32-bit laptop with both programs fully updated.
I have my own TV show featuring local musicians performing live. YouTube page with full episodes and outtake clips here.
I also have another YouTube page with local live music clips I've filmed on my own.
Then there is my gaming YouTube page with Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, and others.
Finally, I stream on Twitch, mostly Kerbal Space Program and Minecraft.
