STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled no longer blocking website ads

Greetings...

I use Firefox web browser for all of my web browsing. For years now, I have configured my Firefox web browser with STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled. As a result, ads have not appeared on any of the website web pages that I visit. For privacy concerns, I prefer not to use an ad blocker add on.

Within the past week or two, ads now appear on web pages that I visit, despite STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled. I have not made any configuration changes to my Firefox web browser, other than installing the customary updates from Firefox.

Currently, my Firefox web browser version is 152.0.6 (64-bit). It is my hunch that one of the Firefox updates I received in the past week or two is the source of the ads now appearing on website web pages that I visit. Has anyone else encountered this same problem?

Please advise if there is a solution/fix that I could apply to my Firefox web browser to restore the ad blocking that STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection used to provide me with.

Thank you for your assistance! Take care...

So every time the browser crashed or a blackout happens and it forced closed (sometimes the browser is closed normally and it still happens) the next time i start the browser it would show the restore session page. Pressing the restore session would just restore the open tabs and not the tab groups. Because of this i would need to go to the file manager, copy the previous.json and change it to replace the sessionstore. it's kinda annoying. is this problem just me or is this a known issue? also how to fix.

Title says it all, "auto resize pictures using CTRL - + does not work". Generally speaking, the size of pictures simply WILL NOT reduce in size to view its entirety. Even when the scroll-bars are used the picture is still to wide. I have searched and asked for any setting in about_config, NOTHING! I truly expected something. The ONLY STUPID WAY to view said oversize picture is Download it then view. Isn't that a HACKERS DREAM??? YES I HAVE tried looking in SETTINGS and searched for months, found nothing that actually works. So now I have to use that 4-LETTER word... HELP!

I'm running Firefox on Win10 with no options to upgrade to 11. Since the latest firefox update installed, I'm getting a screen that says "Oops, something's wrong," and then I'm kicked out of gmail. A screen asks about sending a report to Firefox, which I check OK for. Today this is happening about every minute to 30 seconds . What needs to happen?

Just recently I changed my privacy settings to take advantage of the privacy opt-out option for websites not to share my data or information. I went to my AMX credit card account and now every time I move to a new page the message, "Your Global Privacy Control opt-out signal has been honored" pops up and gets in the way of the information on the page. I am constantly having to click on the X in the corner to close the message box. Once would be enough for each main website. Having it pop up every time is absolutely annoying. I like having this option but if it's going to make me have to close the informational box every time I move to a new page or back to a former page, then I will have to undo the choice. The web designer who put this message text into the Firefox browser needs to find a way to only have it pop up once if they feel it is really necessary to tell me that they are blocking information from other companies. I really don't even need the first message just as long as it works behind the scenes. I hope someone gets web support to look into this issue. It's just so annoying.

But I haven't been refunded yet, and noticed that the card number on the receipt is completely different than the one I used, in fact. None of my cards have the number shown.

About a week ago, I started using VPN Beta, and it worked fine. When I clicked the button at the top of the browser, it prompted me to sign in. I signed in, and the VPN turned on, and everything worked. Now, when I clicked the button, it redirected me to a website that wouldn't load, I received this message: System unavailable, try again soon. Error code: 86392ec4d5b44df682a578382bd577b2 on the website https://accounts.firefox.com/?context=oauth_webchannel_v1&entrypoint=vpn_integration_panel&action=email&service=vpn&utm_campaign=fx-vpn&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=panel&client_id=5882386c6d801776&response_type=code&access_type=offline&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fidentity.mozilla.com%2Fapps%2Foldsync+profile&state=AZ9GKJOVbX4urXTTlaWwJQ&code_challenge=yE-5JozI-ax83Z4z_p-I703-V8av0Fnb0AKLSTM23Gs&code_challenge_method=S256&keys_jwk=eyJjcnYiOiJQLTI1NiIsImV4dCI6dHJ1ZSwia2V5X29wcyI6W10sImt0eSI6IkVDIiwieCI6IlVidDY0c1pESUQzYjRZa2MtSVpkdkR3b1VLbHVFYXA2SU8wY19SNjdCTWMiLCJ5IjoiTDFUUjNOQmprQUxKb2JveHNPY0Nnb2dXZUZEektnV1FJTlBMdkEtbTEtcyJ9. Incidentally, it kept asking me to sign in, even though I wasn't using private windows or anything. So, I had to restart VPN Beta every time, even though I'd already done so. Basically, now I can't even start. They're trying to block such services in Russia, and apparently your site, mozilla.org, was caught in the crossfire, and I don't know what to do. Your built-in VPN was convenient enough that I could just turn it on for a few seconds to access a blocked site, rather than mess around with VPN clients. Perhaps if my Mozilla account never crashed and I didn't have to log in every time, this problem wouldn't exist, and I could activate the VPN right away, without logging in through a blocked site, since I'm sure the server itself is working. Maybe this can be done through the settings somehow? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have card data saved for a number of cards in Firefox, and I am looking to clean that data up. However, when I go to Settings>Passwords and autofill>Payment methods>Manage payment methods no cards are showing up as saved. I also know that this is not Lastpass causing issues, as this card data is not saved in Lastpass. I have attached screenshots of both the manage payments page and the card data showing up for autofill selection on a webpage add payment method screen.

In Protonmail (or is it Firefox?), while reading email I discovered that my tabs apparently disappeared, but then I discovered that my tabs and my Protonmail are now in separate browser windows. Is that because of the update, or something else? I really want my browser to keep my Protonmail tab in the same browser window. HELP.
