Local Overrides is a relatively new experimental feature of the Developer Tools of the Google Chrome web browser that you may use to make permanent changes to web pages similar to how you'd do so using userscripts or userstyles.
Just installed Adblock Plus on both IE8 and Firefox 37 – got successful messages on both.Checked on IE8, ABP is working great. Went onto Firefox and its not working.
Went to Windows add/remove programs… found the IE version BUT the Firefox version is not present. Went back and tried to install Adblock Plus again and got the following message:
Abp Mozilla
“Adblock Plus could not be installed because Firefox could not modify the needed file”
