Hello Krookdo,

While I was attempting to use Ad block to remove the ads at the top of the new Gmail GUI, playing around I accidentally *un*clicked in Firefox>Tools>Options>Content on "Load Images Automatically" box.

Apparently, it's not possible to "disappear" or "hide" the ad bar at the top of the new Gmail interface... and it was totally frustrating to see across the board images, icons, etc., were missing at first, and I couldn't understand why (what on earth makes me investigate or "make significant changes to" my computer when I'm really supposed be going to bed and I'm WAY too tired to pay attention to what I'm doing ... must... keep... hands ... off!).

But check out if this box in Firefox is checked or not. Once I turned it back on the icons and images re-appeared.

The ads are still there, but, I guess as long as they don't start to take up half the screen before I'm allowed to view my emails, for now at least I can live with this!

I hope resolve your problem then reply me back

Thank you
