Good morning Firefox blocks ads on all sites without exception. However, I put sites in the exceptions. I left the standard protection. I tried with another browser, and I don't have this problem. Thank you for your reply.

By default Firefox doesn't block ads unless they are listed as malware sites. So unless you can provide screenshots of the problem sites and URL of the site now one is going to know what is happening here.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.

  • click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
