Suddenly, I am getting unwanted ads every time I do a search or open another window on Firefox. It is extremely annoying and I have tried everything. This annoying practice includes even opening opinions/articles in the wsj. This, I believe, is outside what a browser should be providing. Popups that are unwanted and are part of the operating system is just not right. I am considering going to another browser as my default because of this intrusion.

Hi, when in tracking protection settings, the difference between major and minor page corrections checkbox choices isn't explained. A referral url info button would help alleviate. Wish I could help the project, but I'm 72 & have been fighting m$ retribution as an involuntary uefi tester for an alleged dmca violation 20 years ago. Yes, they do maintain blacklists for their own internal justice system, which I discovered using self-taught low level Linux forensics to find the bootkit methods they locked into my bios. No one wants to touch that live wire and it's now SOP industry standard.

Morning.....I subscribe to PennLive.com (part of the Patriot News group in PA) and have a paid subscription. For several years, there were no ads with a paid subscription. I also have set up on Firefox a custom anti-tracker which blocks cookies, ads and the like. it works on most sites. However, on Penn Live I am getting all sorts of ads jumping around many of which are just plain gross. Ads for belly and arm fat (with pictures), drinks for brain health etc. How do I fix this? What other protections do I need to add on Firefox? This needs to stop and contacting Penn Live has not made a difference. Thanks.

How can I fix this

Fingerprinting Protection is altering screen.availWidth and screen.availHeight. These values may not match your actual screen dimensions. This protection helps prevent websites building a fingerprint that can be used to track users.

I would like to stream a TV show series on a website. The message on the website is to disable ad blocker and/or add their site to a list which allows ads. I don't know of such a list. Disabling Firefox content blocker hasn't made a difference to being blocked from the site's content.

I have been a dedicated user and promoter of Fire Fox and Mozilla; but recently getting very frustrated, when following all directions, cannot STOP Firefox from blocking specific or ALL websites; should be given choices, should be clearly explained and yes, your systems have said click on Shield, but that DOES nothing!

Would appreciate a fix in details by people running the system, and know that suggestion will be simple fix and clearly understood. Thanks.

A site I use daily for news suddenly is not activating, but told me there is an ad blocker happening via an extension. I went on privacy and security and extensions and I have not activated any extensions to block ads. This site activation was working just fine before Firefox notified me of "changes" that would not effect my settings. It obviously did. Would Zoom size be effecting the opening of this site. It's just at 100%. I have been trying Gemini to figure out the problem but so far nothing is working.
