Ok, I tried this question several days ago and got no helpful response. I am new at this so I'm trying again, this time with a screen shot. A few weeks ago and continuing, whenever I click on a Fox news link, I get a banner at the bottom of the screen that tells me I have an ad blocker active and I need to disable it. I do and I won't. I think this started after a Firefox update was installed. I want to get rid of the banner. Any help would be appreciated.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.

  • click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection

You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.
