I have configured advance tracking protection and set all variables to true in the configuration editor except "privacy.resistFingerprinting.jsmloglevel" which is set to "warn". I still have a unique fingerprint. Other than starting over is there anything else I can do?

All of a sudden I could not access our local electronic paper with FireFox. As it turn out the problem was caused by my virus protection software had the "Ad Blocker" turned on. When I turned the option off then I could access the paper. I called customer service and they evidently had done something with ads, but the person I was talking with could not tell me what it was. There suggestion was to use a browser that did not block ads regardless of the setting of my virus protection software. I do not understand how a browser can override the setting in my virus protection software.

My question is does FireFox have an option to turn off an ad blocker for a given URL?

I've gone into Extensions and Adblock isn't there. There isn't anything to remove or cancel. Yet numerous websites seem to see something and say I have a adblocker. I did have Adblock Plus at one time, but canceled it and removed it. What else can I do. My Firefox is up to date. I have Windows 10. My computer is incapable of going to Windows 11.

Turn enhanced tracking protection totally off still does not work, you still have to manually turn off in URL area

I have been reading about turning off enhanced tracking protection permanently; HOWEVER, the solution does not work. Going to privacy and security, clicking custom and turning everything off still does not shut the thing off fully. The shield in the browser is still active and I constantly have to still turn it off I even had to turn it off to get on this site. That is pretty sad when the makers of the browser block their own site using enhanced tracking protection. Is this another case ( i've seen thousands) where some sortware nerd is trying to show how clever he /she is at coding and in fact messes everything up? WHY DO YOU SIMPLY REMOVE THE TRACKING PROTECTION ENTIRELY... IT'S SO ANNOYING.

btw: none of the enhancements like Bold or Italic work on this site either.. great job..../s

Firefox flagging supabase

I just received this from my browser application, in the developer console:

hzcddohaebgygypamkuh.supabase.co” has been classified as a bounce tracker. If it does not receive user activation within the next 3,600 seconds it will have its state purged.

I don't think accessing supabase via their javascript library should be tripping this. I hope this does affect my customers' experience.

Since the last update, some pictures do not show. For instance, in the News and Features Digest email that I receive, when I click on a headline to read article, any pictures do not show. It is just a big, blank, space. Also, for instance, some pictures on accuweather.com do not show, also on weatherbug.com. Even if I turn it off, the pictures do not show up. It seems the lastest update overwrote the shield in front of the address bar that I had set under Firefox settings, Privacy & Security, Enhanced Tracking Protection. I was able to turn off the shield and see what was being removed/blocked. Now that does not work. I understand you try to make Firefox as safe as possible by adding new features. However. I would like to remove whatever setting that shield has now installed with the latest update. I hope this makes sense.
