Firefox Community Forum

Why am I suddenly getting pop up adds when I make selections on the browser? When I am a site and move from one page within a site to another page, a pop up add is activated. This started about a month ago.

I used to get advertisements displayed, but since my latest version of Firefox was installed, none are allowed, and there are some sites I access that depend on adverts for their funding, so I cannot access those sites unless I accept adverts. Adverts should not be blocked globally with no way to undo it, if this continues I will have to switch to another browser.

"Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on in Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker. It’s off by default, so you decide whether to use it."

There IS NO SETTINGS > BROWSING tab in settings. Where is this? and why is the doc even wrong?!!!

I'm running 158.0.1 on windows 10 pro.

Enhanced Tracking Protection is preventing access to x.com even after it is allegedly "turned off" for this site. I have been using personal computers since the 1970s after the IBM PC was introduced, but now I am about ready to ditch Firefox AND Windows 11 to install a decent version of Linux. Grok on my iPhone 8 offered several suggestions to resolve this issue, but none of them have worked so far... including trying to us Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox.

A website added as exception is deleted next time Firefox is used. Cannot find any solution. Can turn off ETP manually via shield symbol in url bar.

I use an ad blocke. This was rarely if ever a problem. However, now it seems that the majority of sites coming up in search results are blocking anyone using an ad blockerwith a pop up appearing requesting I allow ads .... Is there a way around this?

I have Firefox. Sometimes the URL shows but most of the times, it does no show. I am running this URL in ads I have in Leads Leap. This is my business URL and if it doesn't run, I cannot work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have had the URL completely checked out with the Support group where the URL originates. I have followed various technical steps My Daily Impact Support has suggested and nothing has worked. The latest thing I am looking at is the shield to the left of the address bar where i could turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection but the switch cannot be toggled off. I have also tried to pull up this URL on my Chrome and Edge browsers and i cannot access the URL there, either. Support mentioned trying the incognito approach and I have not tried that, yet. From what i am writing here, can you help me?

Remove taboola every where do not allow a single thing through your browser from taboola. Or watch taboola swallow the existing users of your product. I'm done with taboola get rid of it or else I get rid of mozilla in the US there are laws that can be used. I am prepared

I wish FF would test and step through their instructions first. The instructions for Ad Blocker: " Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker" It isn't as easy as they instruct: "How it works: Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on." Search settings unable to find Ad Blocker. Yes, FF browser is up to date.! FF expends a lot of verbiage to promote a new feature yet so slim on step by step instructions.

in the last few days links from facebook to you tube and even youtube itself is requiring a Google address to see the video. Ai google search says for Firefox you need to adjust and turn off your enhansed security which sounds dangerous. I added youtube to my security exceptions I think but still the black screen requiring email. I so not want to share that. Can you advise on how to get you tube to work again with Firefox. Thank you
