AddBlockPlus Causes FBJS Error

---

Adblock Plus is an extension for Firefox, Thunderbird, and several other applications with the primary goal of removing advertisements. For that, it will look at all requests made by web pages and block the request if the address requested matches a filter in Adblock Plus. Somehow, this addon really causes error with FBJS on facebook applications when the canvas type is FBML not the iframe one. I just realized it a few days a go when i found out on Facebook Bold Text that all the javascript function did not work as it was supposed to be, i checked the firefox error console and found this :

Error: fbjs_sandbox.instances.a139701732734451 is undefined
Source-File: http://apps.facebook.com/bold-text/?code=2.AsZwhSand1BnQtqDmBtDOg__.3600.1300586400-xxx
Line: 1

This will not happen if we disable the addblock plus addon, it has never been like this before. It seems that the last updated filter on addblock plus includes FBJS loader on their list. Please note that this will not happen on facebook application with iframe as its canvas type. Only some application are currently affected with this annoying update. How to resolve this? Simply disable the addon on apps.facebook.com :

1. Click on the addblockplus icon when you are on
   apps.facebook.com. Usually located on the right upper side of your browser, near browser’s search form
2. Click disable on apps.facebook.com showed on the image below:
   
3. Refresh the page.

It will add apps.facebook.com as whitelist on its filter, any request made from whitelist page will not be blocked. Everything should go normal as it is supposed to be. Hope addblockplus will aware about this issue and solve this as soon as possible so we dont have to disable it again like this in the near future.
