Wannan tattunawa ta zama daɗaɗɗiya. Yi sabuwar tambaya idan ka na bukatar taimako.

Firefox recently updated and now when I try to look at an online ad, I get an error and the ad is blocked, what is wrong?

The error message says: "Oops, This content is blocked by your browser's private browsing or ad blocking. To view this content, please exit private browsing or disable ad blocking for this site"

I disabled ad blocking for said websites (Menards and Rural King) but it does no good, and I also restarted my computer, and to the best of my knowledge, I am not in private browsing. I did not have this problem before the update, and Microsoft Edge has no problem displaying the weekly ads I'm trying to view. Does someone have a clue, or do I have to go back to using Microsoft?

This is likely because you are using Adblock Plus. The other alternative is if you have enabled Firefox's tracking protection mode.

I am using adblock Plus but I disabled it on those websites when I tried to look at an ad, and I also disabled tracking but I still keep getting the same error message.
