Wunderground and my email open on my home page. With last update, Firefox is blocking my logged in version of wunderground which gives me ad free. If I clear the cache and open wunderground it works until I log in with my password. This is spoiling my experience

I am trying to login to my healthcare website and it will not login if the cookies from the previous login are present. Workaround is to delete the site's cookies from Settings-> Privacy and Security-> Clear data for Specific Sites. I have tried Settings-> Privacy and Security->Manage exceptions->Block but it does not work. The cookies are allowed and they again prevent Login.

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.

Why is Firefox blocking access to https://x.com?

Enhanced Tracking Protection is preventing access to x.com even after it is allegedly "turned off" for this site. I have been using personal computers since the 1970s after the IBM PC was introduced, but now I am about ready to ditch Firefox AND Windows 11 to install a decent version of Linux. Grok on my iPhone 8 offered several suggestions to resolve this issue, but none of them have worked so far... including trying to us Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox.

A site I use regularly says an extension is blocking ads, but i don't have any extensions activated for blocking

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.

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.

How can I (we) disable enhanced tracking so it's not loaded at all in the browser, i.e., we manually turn it on and off when needed? After this last update, some websites I visit are automatically crashing, the screen freezes, I cannot click on their navigation or products, it's become a horrible nightmare and it's not a good use of my time. I want to disable it.

I am not being allowed to access some websites because of my 'Do Not Track' status still being broadcast. I had the field set to 'Yes' when the field was removed. I am not allowed onto these other sites because of my 'Do Not Track' status. How can I fix this ? I was planning on using Firefox when I go to Apple silicon later this year - but not if I keep running into problems before I switch.

If I may offer my perspective, I believe the Enhanced Tracking Protection is a commendable choice. I'm afraid to say that I always get an error message on the TikTok website. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to circumvent this block. I would be very grateful if you could assist me in this matter. I believe I have a clear understanding of the website into which I wish to log in. It would be very helpful if there were an option to manually deactivate the protective features. <if i may offer my perspective, believe the enhanced tracking protection is a commendable choice. < p></if>
