Did they REALLY put a pop-up ad in their "update" notice?

And funnest is perhaps the feature is not pop–up blocker, but an ad–blocker? For the ridicule this way please: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1wj25bg/maximum_irony/

Bonjour PostUpdatePage? What's new in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1599421 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1601393

''<p>cpritchard1 [[#question-1605947|said]]</p>'' <blockquote>Unbelievable! Talk about irony. I just got the latest Firefox update. What was it touting? "We've blocked MORE of the pop-up ads!!" And what did it include? A pop-up advertisement from Mozilla. I just wanted to find out if that was a gag, a one-off incident, or someone pirating Mozilla's new update to show that it doesn't do what their touting. </blockquote> The Ad was likely about the ad blocker feature in Firefox for iOS/iPadOS https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-ads-firefox-ios The https://www.firefox.com/en-US/whatsnew/156/ page mentions <blockquote>Pop-up ads, you’re going down. Firefox '''for iOS''' now has a built-in ad blocker that helps cut down on annoying ad junk, so there’s more room for what you actually came to see. Turn it on under Settings > Browsing. Get Firefox on mobile</blockquote> Note the '''for iOS''' as it was not about the desktop Firefox version. Even though you may be using desktop Firefox they may be trying to give people a reason to consider using the mobile versions of Firefox also if they were not already.
