One of the filter sets was blocking Twitter feeds. I disabled that one and things work now.

The one that was killing them was "Fanboy's Annoyance List". As soon as I disabled that one everything started working normally. Pull down AdBlock Plus from the menubar and select "Options" and check to see if you have that set enabled.
