Only on FX: id="adv" 'hides' the element

This appears to be confined to FX. (FX 110.0.1 (64-bit) on Linux) Elements like input or output are hidden if id the ID is set as "adv". What is going on - is this a gotcha? Easy workaround of course but that's not the point.

<meta name="description" content="test"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>test adv</title>

xxxx<input id="adv">yyyy
xxxx<input id="anyOtherID">yyyy

It looks like the ad blocking add-on is doing it. Do you have uBlock Origin or Adblock+?

Quite right. Never would have guessed. Using AdBlocker. That really does seem to be a gotcha good for screwing up sites.
