I don't really know what specifically describes my question. But I do know for sure that it involves a website, or my other guess would be that it has something to do with my privacy/security settings.


My actual problem is that I can't seem to access my Pearson online homework through Canvas (an online Learning Management Platform, basically where my professors put up all the information for my classes).

From what he showed yesterday in class, I'm supposed to just click on the assignment from the assignments tab and it will then load the assignment right in canvas. (I'm guessing this works by opening a "second" website right in canvas, and my settings somehow are blocking that). Except I click on it and nothing happens.

I tried google chrome and the same thing happens, nothing.

I then tried Microsoft Edge and it does manage to work properly. If anything I can just use Edge to do my homework but that won't be ideal.

I've included some images to show what it looks like while using Firefox and while using Edge


I've tried allowing pop-ups and turning off various security features, but nothing seemed to make it work

Nevermind, I figured it out. UBlock Origin thinks the online homework is an AD and was blocking it.

All I have to do is set UBlock Origin (or whatever ad block add-on) to not work on this specific website.

I'm leaving this post up in case anyone has the same problem as I do.
