So, I noticed all the ad's I normally blocked showing up today. No idea why. I look down in the tray of my Firefox window, and the Adblock section says Disabled instead of Adblock like it usually does.
I thought that was unusual, so I fiddeled around some withe a few settings with no luck. I uninstalled the Extension, then reinstalled it, and it came back the same way.
Finally, I took the time to look closely at the options, and found that the check box at the top of the page "Enable Adblock" was unchecked. I am 97.436% sure I did *not* uncheck it in the last day or two. So how could this have happened? I installed the BugMeNot.com extension. I did look at a few settings, but I didn't do much of anything.
Is it me being paranoid, or has someone figured out how to interact with and disable Adblock remotely? I know, it sounds far fetched. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
