[outages] OT: Weird problem with Firefox & G+

[Paul Ferguson]

Following up on this...

It appears AdBlock Plus is the culprit here:

https://plus.google.com/116028828272319130998/posts/doopZKh1G3u

So either adding an exception for plus.google.com or simply disabling
for that specific property "fixes" the problem.
