How to Make Adblock Plus Stop Yahoo Shortcut Links
Adblock Plus is a plugin that keeps ads off of your screen while browsing with Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Although Adblock Plus eliminates most ads and pop-ups that link to external websites, certain internal ad links such as Yahoo! shortcuts may escape the Adblock Plus filters. You can manually add a filter to Adblock Plus for a Yahoo! shortcut or any other ad image that you wish to block.
