When trying to use one particular website on Firefox, I get a message that I am blocked because of an ad blocker but I have not turned on any ad blocker in Firefox. How do I find out if an ad blocker is enabled on my Firefox and, if so, how do I turn it off? I have ensured that the ad blocker option in settings is unchecked and even added this web site to permissions but to no avail. Can someone help? Here is the message I get but none of the steps in this message I am told to take show up on my screen:

Adblock Plus Instructions

   Click the AdBlock Plus icon in the extension bar.
   Beneath “Block ads on”, click the large blue toggle next to “This website”.
   Click refresh.

Were these instructions helpful?

Unable to Connect to my Router (192.168.1.1)

I have a D-link 4G Router whose IP Address is 192.168.1.1 Its does not support https, only http.

I am unable to configure it using Firefox, I have to use Chrome. Firefox prevents me connecting to it because (a) It does not support https and, if I get round this issue (b) Firefox reports that the Router's security certificate is out of date

I can never get round (b), there are no options to override Security Certificate is out of date.

I can override the same issue if I use Chrome (but I would prefer to use Firefox)

It seems a bit over-authoritarian to me, to prevent me from logging into and configuring my own Router !!!! I believe Firefox should always provide a mechanism for the user to override these security issues.

Firefox Motzilla code question I’m signing into Printify using my Firefox account. Everything was good getting my Etsy shop as it was. But all of this came to a halt because I needed to pare my IPhone with my MacBook Pro. Couldn't get anywhere. Couldn't login to Prinitfy. It asked me for my code and this brought everything to a halt. I hunted everywhere. I don't have them. Needing codes is relatively new to me. I have been mostly working on designing and publishing products for Etsy. End of last year and this one, I've been hacked (4 months to repair) Right now I’m working on retrieving nearly everything including my identity. which happened last week. I believe over half of what I lost has been fixed. It is slowly coming to completion, but I need the codes or possibly new ones please, now to get into Printify. I have 73 products in my store.. To finish. the codes, where would they be? What do I do? I don"t know. I have much time to fulfill my mission, I've gone broke because of all the problems I've had, but I keep trying. Please help me. FYI, I work on a 2019 16" MacBook Pro: Sonoma 14.5.

My best to you all, Jane Magarigal

None of these fixed the problem for me.

When I enter "about.config" in the address bar, it searches it instead and I can't get to the about.config page. I thought maybe it was the search extension I was using but when I changed it, the problem persisted. Is there a way to fix this or at least a way to get to the page?

Hi, I have a problem with Youtube playback on my machine. Sometimes videos are playing and skipping few seconds, sometimes stopping/hanging and using a lot of CPU (I can hear CPU fan ramping up). It mostly happens when I play videos at 1080p and up. Sometimes video can start playing, then skip few seconds, play few more seconds and hang, sometimes after refresh it works fine, another time it works for like a minute and then again hangs/skips. I had this problem on FF 89, I've updated to 11x, still persisted, now I have FF 125.0.3 (64 bit). Things that i've tried: - enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in FF - enabling/disabling gpu hardware acceleration in Windows - changing some settings in about:config (fe. media.wmf.zero-copy-nv12-texture to false and gfx.direct3d11.reuse-decoder-device to false, and few more) - disabling and deleting addons

PC specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, Asus Tuf X570, GeForce RTX 3070 (latest drivers), Windows 10 22H2

I don't want my search queries to be saved in the firefox search bar. I usually open a new tab with Ctrl+T, hit Ctrl+K to go to the search bar and hit enter without any keywords. This opens the search engine page (in my case google.com)

Now hitting enter with an empty search bar does nothing. Started happening with the new version 128.

Is there a shortcut alternative to opening the search engine in a new tab?

Every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling settings on its own.

Specifically 2 settings on the general tab keep enabling themselves in the "browsing" section, "Recommend extensions as you browse" and "Recommend features as you browse"

I have disabled these settings dozens of times now, and every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling these 2 settings on its own.

Just now I updated to v128.0 and these 2 settings turned themselves on again.

Why is Firefox not respecting my settings? Why is Firefox allowed to modify my settings without my permission?

I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox already. I don't use profiles and am not signed into the browser, so no settings are getting carried over that way.

I'm clearing space on my hard disk. I discover FF has 2 profiles, both with default-release as part of their names. One was last modified today, and one last modified a few months ago. I've not knowingly done anything to create a profile in that period. Why have I got two, and can I delete the older one?

Many thanks
