new in 158: state ad blocker setting is at SETTINGS > BROWSING. Nope. not BROWSING option

Joe P

new in 158 states:

"Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on in Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker. It’s off by default, so you decide whether to use it."

There IS NO SETTINGS > BROWSING tab in settings. Where is this? and why is the doc even wrong?!!!

I'm running 158.0.1 on windows 10 pro.

“There IS NO SETTINGS > BROWSING tab in settings” Open the URL to view

it looks like my post got messed up. Part is missing and a long quote ("Ad Blocker uses Apple...") appears added.

it should read:

=====================================================
Instructions say:

" At the bottom of the screen, tap the menu button (which is shown as three horizontal dots).

Tap Settings in the menu panel.

Tap Tracking Protection"

I'm on Windows 10 PRO pc. Running FF 158.0.1. 1. There is NO MENU BUTTON (anywhere on my screen) as described.

   a.  my MENU button is AT TOP RIGHT of the location bar

   b.  It is 3 horizontal BARS (not dots).

2. Opening TOOLS > SETTINGS (from menu bar) reveals

   no TRACKING PROTECTION tab.

So, I'm at a loss as to how to change this setting. ======================================================== (end original) so, what URL are you referring to? and where are the things the article mentions (like the 3 dot menu button)?

"Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content......" Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ad-blocker-on-ios/


windows 10 pro Requires a separate installation of Adblock Plus or uBlock Origin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
