Suddenly getting ads on Google in Firefox

Hello, as of yesterday, I noticed that my Google searches were displaced by ads. If I search something, Google would normally display a short summary and a little piece of information at the top of the page, but instead the first ~10 results are all ads, one of the top ones always being yahoo.com. Same goes for searching for translations "[Any word] + language" normally results in the translation tool being displayed at the top, but again just ads.

I have scanned my PC for viruses (with the Windows Defender and Bitdefender) but at least they didn't find anything. When I deactivate all my extensions (Which is only Adblocker, ironically), nothing changes. When I browse in Safe Mode, the ads do not appear. I have already cleared my Cache etc. but that didn't do too much. No I installed a Scriptblocker and with that, Google is back to normal again. But of course, even if that workaround works, I'd also like to know what is causing this. (I also checked with Chrome for example, the problem is Firefox specific)

Any ideas what I could try next or what the problem might be?

Desktop browser. I have many devices, including some on VM. Mix of linux and windows.

I've noticed that when I whitelist a site for Enhanced Tracking Protection, I have to repeat the choice in every single device.

Is there a way to have this sync as part of firefox sync?

Hi, for the last week or so I've noticed an irritating translucent banner at the bottom of certain web pages. I have refreshed Firefox and cleared the cache, but to no avail. Please see attached image. This is from https://www.majstro.com/

It starts and ends a distance from the left and right edges of the page. I'd love to rid of this.

google calendars does not work well on Firefox. the headings become garbled and print over themselves. this problem does not occur on chrome . it doesn't doesn't seem that there are any settings that make any sense or come close to a change. So far my search has not brought up any answer or even a similar question. Maybe I'm looking wrong but any help would be greatly appreciated. vb

I have tried many recommendations to control the bookmark spacing in firefox 108.0.2. I prefer to have single spacing, which is much more convenient than the wider spacing which now exists. Although many "workarounds" exist, none work to change this problem in the latest version. Why is this problem so difficult to resolve? It worked before and I trusted that it would work again after updating from the last version where it did work. This change is very disappointing.


Thanks George

I looked through the treads below, but could not see where any rules block any changes from occurring.

I am using Windows 11 and I got a notice that indicates I was using Windows 10. Is Firefox not keeping up?

This all started when I got an email that was captioned: New sign in to Firefox Monitor.

Looking around I noticed that Firefox thought I was using Windows 10 instead of 11.

Hovering over a tab no longer works properly. Now it just "blinks" the description of the tab but doesn't leave the text long enough to read it. This feature used to be very helpful when you have a large number of tabs open. Now it's useless.

I am blocked from viewing many links to my paid subs behind their firewalls. When I copy and paste the URL to edge it is viewable. Or is it the firewall owners fault? Should I accept this as a feature of Firefox or should I go exclusively to Edge?
