Download.com site feedback forum: Adblock plus not compatible with firefox 3.6

Cnet does not actively monitor for, or acquire, program updates. Rather, it is up to the individual developers to upload their latest versions to Cnet Downloads if they want them to be available through that channel. Unfortunately, the developers of AdBlockPlus have chosen not to submit the latest updates for inclusion on download.com, though you are free to encourage the developer to keep the listing updated.

Welcome, Mr. Palant,

The default preference is to send you newsletter updates via email regarding software you have downloaded from Cnet in the past, as well as a few generic newsletters. However, you can opt-out of all of them through your Cnet member profile, utilizing the preferences under both Newsletters (for most newsletters) and My Lists (for download-related notifications).

As to upload.com, I agree it is not a trivial process, even after the most recent site redesign. Such is especially true with software such as AdBlock Plus, which is regularly updated. Thankfully, though, Mozilla offers both a secure site for finding Firefox extensions and a built-in extension updater. As someone with over 100 installed extensions (largely developer- and penetration-related), I find them far more convenient than using Cnet's repositories.
