Hello,

Does anyone else have an issue with the Google adsense ads not showing after upgrading to 1.5.0.6?

After the upgrade I noticed that I am no longer seeing adsense ads on sites.

I'm not using adblocking software or the adsense notifier. The ads show up on the same PC with opera or IE.

It's a curious issue, and I wanted to see if anyone else see an issue.

I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox. Today I viewed over 60 pages with AdSense, and they all showed up fine.

The advice which I usually see offered for this problem is to:

a) ensure that javascript is enabled
b) clear the cache, then close and restart the browser

There are numerous previous threads regarding ads disappearing for no apparent reason, sometimes in Firefox, sometimes in IE. A site search will locate them.

Yep. Clearing the cache worked ... I just stumbled upon it.

Odd, because it only stopped working after the auto upgrade.

Thanks for the confirmation it was working for everyone else.

It's interesting some have mentioned the Firefox cache.

Today when I was checking my pages that have AdSense, I noticed that when I looked at several of them, Firefox was showing older versions of them. This was a surprise because I kept emptying the cache (with no pages open), and that wasn't enough to stop it from showing old versions of pages. I had to quit the application several times and keep emptying the cache to view the pages as they are today. Once, I got it to display the current version of the page, went somewhere else, opened it again, and it showed the old version again!

Here's one other AdSense-related issue with Firefox. Whenever I want to see the latest AdSense report, I quit Firefox and open it again first. Otherwise, it often showed me a report that wasn't as current.

Hmmm... Car guy: I wonder if this is related? I have noticed that with MSIE, as long as you're logged into the G Adsense page, the stats never update.

For example, if I log on to add a filter, and then leave the window open for a while, and go back to it later, and refresh the page, the stats never change. But if I close the window and then log right back on, the stats have progressed.
