I installed ABP on Firefox a few weeks ago to deal with a Yahoo news
problem, which it took care of. Now I have another:

There's a web site I've been visiting every day for years. Now, every
day I get a message telling me that "Firefox prevented this page from
automatically reloading", and I have to click "allow" to get it to load.

If I click the red "stopsign" at the upper right, I get an Adblock
window saying "No blockable items".

What ABP *should* do, of course, is "learn by example" and cease
blocking sites once they have been specifically allowed. Sadly, it does
not.

I've looked at what documentation on ABP I can find, but I cannot
discover how I can tell it, once and for all, to allow that page (and,
of course, others that it doesn't think I should get to look at.

Any help appreciated

Hmm... What makes you think the "Firefox prevented this page from
automatically reloading" message has anything to do with AdBlock?

Because it's a site I've visited daily for years, and the new behavior
started coincident with the installation of ABP.

If, OTOH, it was due to some sudden change in Firefox, where do I poke
that app to make it stop?
