This problem just started today. I am very angry. what is going on with Firefox? Websites are filled to the brim with annoying ad's. and you tube videos are constantly interrupted with ad's!!!!! What is with all the ad's? This problem has not existed until today. Please STOP this! And, No, I can not just wait a few seconds then click on "skip ads" because I am looking at videos on a computer screen while sitting away from the computer in a chair so constantly having to get up, walk to the computer, click on "skip ads", walk back to my chair is an annoyance! Just stop with all the ads!

Perhaps you were previously using an ad blocker and now it's not working? Actually, I see you shared your add-on list and there's no ad blocker listed at all.

To get a new one, you could start here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

However, that might not cover those interstitial YouTube ads; I haven't tested myself.
