Block js with AdBlock Plus in Firefox

Ran across a javascript pop-up that detects ABP (adblock plus) and tells you to allow ads on this site.  So, the demostration in this article will tell you have to get rid of this sort of thing...

First, we use the site mirc-dot-org.  Since you areadly have firefox installed, you will also need 2 addon extensions:  firebug and ABP.

Go to the site that wants you to enable ads in ABP.  When the javascript pops up, select some text in the popup, right-click and choose inspect element.  Scroll down a couple lines and you will see the javascript url ending in /advertisements.js.  Copy it!

Next, close firebug and goto the ABP drop down menu and click Open Blockable Items.  Paste the url to the javascript .js file into the search box.  Double click on the element and click Custom then Add Filter.

Now reload page and no more javascript popups begging you to disable ad blocking!

Perhaps the author of Adblock Plus can make this addon un-detectable?
