I installed this from Firefox's menu:  Tools->Add-ons->Get Addons.

I must confess, didn't even think to check for an Ubuntu package. There 
should be nothing to do, other that restarting Firefox after 
adblock-plus is installed. If that fails I'd be tempted to utterly 
remove it via:

$ sudo aptitude purge adblock-plus

... and get it via Firefox itself.
