    My son keeps receiving error messages that prevent adblock plus from installing on his computer.

    Basically the error message said that the extension could not be installed because signing could not be verified -260.

    Any ideas? He has the latest (not beta) version of Firefox on his Mac.

    if your son currently has adblock installed, uninstall all versions, restart the program, then install the newest adblock

    He had never heard of Adblock before so yesterday he tried it for the first time.

    Perhaps Broni is on to something here. I'll tell him to try creating a new profile. Now... how exactly does he go about doing this (having never done it myself since I never had the need)? And will he need to import his bookmarks, etc.?
