I was using Firefox 1.07 on Windows XP-SP2 and was about to report a couple of
problems(bugs?) regarding tabbed browsing and Adblock. Then I heard about
version 1.5 beta, so I downloaded and installed it, in the hope that the upgrade
might somehow solve the problems, but they are still there. They are:

1 - Even though all tabbed browsing options are correctly configured, the
program continues to open each web page separately, loading and reloading on the
same window in the typical Internet Explorer style unless I specifically
right-click and select new tab every time I wish to change to a new page. I'm
not sure, but I think this behavior became more evident after I installed 
StumbleUpon and the Google Toolbar in Firefox 1.07.

2 - There are certain advertisements that Adblock apparently refuses to block.
The transparent Adblock label doesn't even appear on such ads to give you the
option to block them. You can confirm what I say if you open www.clarin.com (the
page in Spanish of an Argentine newspaper) and try to delete the advertisement
that appears on the rightmost column. The ad will remain there no matter how
hard you try to remove it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you able to reproduce the tab problems you're seeing while in safe mode?

Problems with extensions like these should be reported to their authors, not
here. Marking invalid.
