ad blockers
why is it that ever since the FORCED update crap, i can no longer have ad blockers? why am i now FORCED to watch ads for videos as short as 1 minute 52 seconds?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH YOU GUYS AT MOZILLA? firefox USED TO BE something i would recommend to people but, now that i can no longer have facebook container, any ad blockers or anything else for privacy, i dont see no reason to recommend firefox any longer. if i have to continue waiting 10-15 minutes for a 5 minute video to load just so the ads can load first, and i can no longer have ANY privacy online, there is no need for me to continue using firefox because i can go through the EXACT SAME BULLCRAP USING google or internet explorer, i can have the SAME amount of time and bandwidth WASTED on ads as using google or internet explorer.
i got a message from you guys saying i HAD NO CHOICE but to update or not be able to use the internet, i tried, then you guys sent me the message that i can NOT update for windows 7 (even though your site said windows 7 CAN get the up to date firefox web browser) because my computer is TOO DAM OLD! WHY THE HELL DO YOU LIE TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT! NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD THE COST OF A NEW COMPUTER EVERY TIME WE TURN AROUND! ESPECIALLY US WHO ARE DISABLED AND ARE ON A FIXED INCOME!
IF I WANTED TO WATCH SO MANY ADS, I WOULD GET A SATELITE DISH AND WATCH THE PARAMOUNT NETWORK!
NO privacy while web browsing? so you guys are just letting facebook track me online now! what the hell?? not to mention 300 ADS instead of seeing what my friends post to face book or the pages i am following!
want me top stay with you guys for a web browser? then i need the ad blockers add-ons and privacy ad-ons back!
ps. word of mouth spreads pretty fast!

Firefox browser has no control over how internet ads or site ads work. You should contact their webmasters about those issues.

The message you got was likely about needing to update to minimum Firefox versions to then not have extensions be disabled and so you can install new extension in which this article is about https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration
For the eol Windows 7, 8, 8.1 the latest Firefox you can run is the Firefox 115 ESR currently at Fx 115.21.0esr and will be updated til Fx 115.27.0esr in August unless Mozilla decides to extend updates again. Firefox 116.0 and later requires Windows 10, 11 to run. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7-8-and-81-moving-extended-support
To not have extensions be disabled you need 115.13.0esr at minimum though the current security/stability update is 115.21.0esr. For Windows 10, 11 you need Firefox 128.0 or later.
You cannot expect a company that makes web browsers to support EOL OS's forever as Chrome/Chromium based browsers ended support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 back in Jan/Feb 2023.
you're wrong! i did the update, and as soon as i did the update, that is when my add-ons and extensions were disabled, and when i tried to re-add them, they ALL claim to be corrupted, ESPECIALLY THE ADD BLOCKERS AND PRIVACY ADD-ONS AND EXTENSIONS.
surely, you can NOT be expecting EVERYONE, including us disabled or the elderly on SSI or SSDI to be able to financially afford NEW computers, with this economy where things now cost an arm and leg, in order to keep our privacy or the ad blockers.
There is a potential that even after you do a Firefox update to 115.13.0esr or later like Fx 115.21.0esr the extensions may still be disabled. This should only be the case for 24 hours or less as it checks.
Btw Add-ons is a general term that groups together the separate extensions, themes, plugins, search engines, dictionaries, language packs.
