[ale] firefox 12, adblock and cache clearing

[Lightner, Jeff]

>From the way it was written I suspect Adblock and AdblockPlus are two separate plugins.  I've been using ABP for a few years now and have been quite happy with it.  It appears some plugins for Firefox have similar names and some of the comments lead one to believe people do this on purpose to suck you into using the wrong one.

Your experiment would suggest that it has nothing to do with adblock, right?  What else is different between the 1st & 2nd systems?  What if you disabled/removed adblock on the 1st system?

(Not seen on ubuntu/FF12, btw)
