Firefox add-ons are not maintained by ubuntu/ update manager, but firefox it self takes care of these update(s)
Maybe linux ad block plus 1.0.2 take a bit longer.

Adblock Plus is maintained in the Ubuntu repositories, please see the
adblock-plus package.

As to the question, if you want the update I suggest removing the
adblock-plus package and installing the plugin through the Mozilla
Firefox add-ons manager.

no script is also in the repos. of ubuntu, but updates comes with firefox, not via the ubuntu update manager imo.
but i +1 the suggestion to simply install the newest plugin via the firefox add-ons manager

Can you help with this problem?
