So, I woke up to discover that Windows had updated itself and rebooted, and when I fired up Firefox, all the ads were being displayed. Grrrrrrr... So, after uninstalling Adblock and Filterset.G, installing Adblock Plus, seeing that Adblock Plus works, uninstalling Adblock Plus, reinstalling Adblock and Filterset.G, seeing that it still didn't work, uninstalling Adblock but leaving Filterset.G installed, and finally reinstalling Adblock Plus, everything works perfectly. The rendering issue with the large gap goes away with the addition of Filterset.G, so that must be a feature of Filterset.G's specific filters and not Adblock/Adblock Plus.
