Version 2.9.1
* Counting filter hits is now disabled by default, to alleviate performance issues experienced by some users (can be enabled again under "Options" if necessary).
* Fixes regression in Adblock Plus 2.9, extension being broken in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.
We are still trying to reproduce issues experienced by some Firefox users, with filter changes not being saved. We are also still looking into ways to address performance issues caused by using Web Extensions storage starting with Adblock Plus 2.0.

Version 2.9
This release lays important groundwork for the Web Extensions migration. The way Adblock Plus stores its data has changed drastically, though for users everything should stay exactly the same. The new location of your filters and subscriptions is the browser-extension-data/{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}/storage.js file in your Firefox profile, the same data will be used by the Adblock Plus build based on the Web Extensions platform once it is ready.
Additional changes
* The hidden data_directory and please_kill_startup_performance preferences have been removed.
* It is now possible to use { and } in CSS property filters.
