that should be easy to figure out, from the ABP button do "open blockable
items" and see what is blocked (shown in red). Hower over it with the mouse
and see which filter is repsonsible.

Right click the item and add exception or even better go to the relevant 
addblock/filter forum and report it as false positive.
