unpack adblock.jar and change all references of
_adblockfiltered in the files (3 files had it) to another name. eg.
_adblockfaltered. Then put the files back in the .jar file.
Adblock still works fine and sites checking for that adblockfiltered window will get nothing back
addfilterdialog.js
component.js
filterall.js
A randomize function on extension install would solve this nicely, too

You are a little late with this solution. The improved security in Firefox 1.5 and SeaMonkey already got rid of the problem, the sites cannot detect Adblock with this approach any more. And Adblock Plus (all versions) works differently anyway so that this detection script isn’t a problem.
