Adblock Plus 2.0.1 released
? 12.15.2011 - by Wladimir Palant

This release is fixing a few minor issues compared to Adblock Plus 2.0. Main reason for the release is a change to the compatibility information.

• Fixed: Adding a different subscription might add a main subscription that isn't required (forum topic).
• Not enforcing that old Firefox 3.6/Thunderbird 3.1 releases aren't used (due to an addons.mozilla.org limitation).
