keep getting ad block notice while viewing cbs.com

While viewing cbs.com, about half way through the show, I get a black screen with the notification that "The video is either unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker installed in your browser". In researching how to fix this problem, I have come across numerous other people with the same complaint. This seems to be happening only with CBS. Is there any way to turn off the ad blocker on Firefox?

CBS.com uses doubleclick.net for your viewing pleasure. You are either using an in-browser adblocker like Ad Blocker Plus or OpenDNS that is stopping access to doubleclick.net. Enable access to doubleclick.net, watch your video, then re-enable. Cheers!
