I can't login, while I had 2 different extension ON. Why? Which Adblock option should I fix?

The developer Adi is super great - I had an issue with the article count number being updated and within 12 hours of reporting the bug it was fixed and working good as new. I really like all the features and the extension in general, but knowing that any bugs will be addressed immediately is what makes me really impressed :)
