I own a webiste that is verified by google but firefox does not recognize this verification. What can I do?

I run google ads on my webiste but now the new version of firefox automatically blocks all of the ads because my webiste is deemed unsafe even though I have google verification which I can provide the details if necessary.

My problem is that small (relatively speaking) percentage of visitors uses firefox and it adds up on monthly traffic so I want to make my webiste green on default...

Please note that Firefox does not block all ads in regular browsing. This may occur in private browsing mode only.

We have added a new feature to private browsing mode called tracking protection, designed to protect user privacy by limiting third party tracking. Since the Google ads program uses third party tracking, ads on your website may be blocked in private browsing mode.

At the current time, there is no way around this because Google ads fall into the third party tracking category. The blocking of your ads is not because of your website's certificate.

Note: Users may also block ads on your website by using a Firefox addon. Mozilla does not develop or maintain these addons.

Thank you for a quick reply which explains everything. I guess I was confused by that url (shield) icon and how it is presented.
