Some ads are being blocked in Firefox, but for the life of me, I cannot find where I might have an ad blocker turned on in Firefox or installed as a plug-in or extension. Chrome displays the ads correctly. Example site is www.milesawaygrandparenting.com. There are three ads at the bottom of most pages which display in Chrome but not (for me, anyway) in Firefox.
Where might I look or troubleshoot to find out where the ads are being blocked? I have McAfee Total Protection installed, and Privacy Badger also.

Having long been puzzled by what Firefox considers to be my location, I have tried to find out how to set or change it. I followed all leads that seemed promising. the most direct lead was through the Menu (three bars in my PC-based Firefox). It does not contain the Settings option, nor any kind of 'More' option. I even used the about:config lead simply to find it is enabled. All I know is that Firefox holds a Location other than what I would want to to. But I simply cannot find a way to identify where its held; so I can change it.
Given how straight forward this need is I am puzzled on how hard it is to find out how to change it. Can someone help, other than by repeating the common instructions for using the Menu? I attach my list in case it helps.

Trying to open books in Google Play Books.
I have tried in Chrome, Firefox, IE, Vivaldi and Opera but all with the same result: "If you want to read books in Google Play you must allow cookies from books.googleusercontent.com"
However, what ever I do allow books.googleusercontent.com or cookies from same i does not work
Eg. Opera: Advanced Settings - Privacy & Security - Site Setting - Cookies - Allow - Add - books.googleusercontent.com
As mentioned, this is an issue in 5 browsers and I can't help thinking that it must be Google Play that has an issue.
I have tried Google Help forums but with no answers
I cant be right the every user has to go deep down in settings to be able to read the books (I'm frustrated, admit it)
Anyone knowing anything?
Take care

JSON response overlaid on page instead of delivered to JS

I am migrating a key piece of code which formerly used XML to return information from a server script to instead use JSON. However the JSON response, instead of being returned by calling the response handler is instead overlaid on top of the page which made the AJAX request. I have attached a screenshot displaying this. The JSON response is encased in <pre>. I know my code is not doing this because there is no occurrence of that string in my code. The JSON itself is valid according to JsonLint. So why is my response handler not being called, and where is this overlay coming from? I am using the code from JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition, by David Flanagan. Copyright 2006 O'Reilly Media, Inc. (ISBN: 0596101996) to send the AJAX request, fixed to invoke JSON.parse instead of the JS interpreter to handle the response.

When using Google Forms, the normal options on all forms like: "Preview", "Settings", etc are invisible. I'm able to see them if I hover over them, but they are not visible otherwise. I just did some troubleshooting with Geek Squad and determined it's a Firefox issue. The problem does not exist using Chrome. See attached screen shots please.
I was able to use Google Forms in the past, this started a few months ago as I recall.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Recently when I open Firefox it has changed behavior when I then open a new tab. In my settings I have selected Firefox home page as what should display both on opening and for each new tab. For my home page I have specified a number of top sites. These top sites will display when I first open Firefox. They used to also display when I opened a new tab. But now when I open a new tab I get a blank page with some kind of random wallpaper background and nothing on it except a "Search the web" option.

Hi everyone. Weird issue.
So I reinstalled Firefox, and went about my business.. .and found that the font in gmail/google calendar is... well.. not smooth anymore.
At first I was just seeing things... and now its blatantly obvious the font has been changed somehow.
I've tried refreshing, safe mode, new profile, reinstalling, no add-ons, turning certain add-ons off, etc. Nothing seems to be working.
In comparison, the font in Opera and Chrome are exactly the same, and the font in Firefox is slightly off. and now I'm noticing this in almost all websites - it just seems the font in gmail/google calendar is obviously not smooth. What did i do, and how do i fix this? :(

i uninstalled GOGGLE tonight because, I HATE GOOGLE for several reasons. BUT since the uninstall, they are blocking not sites but CONTENT. I do a search and the content is on lots of URLS. BUT GOOGLE INTERCEPTS THE SITE, HIJACKS Firefox AND SAYS: GOOGLE 404. That’s an error. The requested URL [inappropriate link] was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
i KNOW its a lie as the URL/SITE comes up, I SEE THE CONTENT then GOOGLE "KNOCKS IT DOWN AND SAYS: GOOGLE 404. That’s an error. The requested URL [inappropriate link] was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
BUT IT DID IN FACT "FIND" IT, I SAW IT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT.

I have used firefox for and until yesterday closing it with the upper right X simply closed it and upon reopening mys previous session was always restored (as selected in my options). Suddenly, since yesterday's update this did not happen and i have lost my tabs (despite having again selected the session restore option immediately).
Furthermore, reading the support article the option session restore does NOT appear in my menu as indicated and I can find no information on what to do about fixing that.
I am also trying to log in and requested my username but no email arrived and so I have had to register anew to access support.

Google Calendar is a very popular and widely-used product, so I would imagine this bug impacts a large number of Firefox users.
I've noticed recently that when editing calendar entries, the scrollbar that is used to scroll through the calendar entry textbox no longer appears with desktop versions of Firefox. The issue exists in both the Windows and Linux versions of Firefox -- I've confirmed it on at least four computers, both Windows and Linux, on which Firefox is installed and as far as I know up-to-date. (I have not tried mobile versions of Firefox because Google Calendar functions are handled in Android with a native Android app.) This is particularly problematic if calendar entry descriptions have more than a few lines, which is common.
I tried to attach screenshots that I had saved so it would be immediately visually obvious what was occurring, but when I select "Add images" on this form and select a PNG file containing a screenshot, the cursor just spins and spins and the image never uploads even though I'm on a very high-speed connection and the screenshot is only 60K in size. So the Mozilla team should also consider looking into that issue as well.
I would like to file a bug report, but Mozilla seems to be directing me to this support feature rather than a bug tracker, so I'm not sure if I can file a bug report or, if I can, how to do so.
Thanks in advance.
