Just to add - and I need to check in the morning - I think that the Win 7 machine may be using the 64 bit version of Firefox

Tried 32 bit version and the same result so it must be something to do with how Windows 10 handles it

I think I have isolated the problem
Disabling javascript sorts it so I assume it is something to do with how Windows 10 handles javascript as compared to Windows 7

using windows 10 64bit at home - tested site no complaint about ablock.
i use uBlock Origin though (which is far superior to either Adblock or Adblock Plus IMO)

installed YesScript and blacklisted the site which sorted it
will try Ublock Origin and see how that copes
EDIT
Confirmed that also sorted it so will stick with that for the time being
UPDATE
Checked using YesScript and it blocked the comments being read so not an option

Interesting thing from Ublock Origin - following a link from Google Shopping search
