Starting a few days ago, it appears as if Firefox on my iPhone is infected with malware. I keep getting full page pop up ads, and other ads covering parts of the screen that I have to keep closing. 

I deactivated and then reactivated the ad blockers to troubleshoot, to no avail.  The blockers still work for Safari, but not for Firefox.

Has anyone else had this issue?

If the ad blockers downloaded from the iOS store no longer work, are there other ad blocker‘s that could be installed directly into the browser, as opposed to via an app? 

By the way, when I checked my Firefox settings, to my astonishment, tracking protection was turned off in private mode, though still enabled in regular mode.   That’s why I think this is malware, not just ads. My settings were changed behind my back. 

Thanks a lot for any help you can offer.
