website prompt to "subscribe"..
when using Firefox, I continually run into a "subscribe" prompt on major newspapers websites.. Specifically on Baltimore Sun and Washington Post. This happens about once every 25 times with Windows but about every time with Firefox....... anything I can do so I can stick with the firefox browser ???

How is this being displayed, a pop-up?
Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).
Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon {web link} Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon extends the blocking functionality of Adblock Plus to those annoying pop-up windows that open on mouse clicks and other user actions.

no, its more of a "redirect" of the browser to a subscribe page when I click on an article. added the adblcok, but no success. again...both major newspapers in my area Balt/Wash seem to allow the windows browser but go immediately to the redirect to subscribe page with firefox.....
Please post the links you were trying to use.
Are you blocking cookies? Often sites remember that they already annoyed you with an overlay or interstitial page by setting a cookie so they don't do it again and again.

If you are using the new tracking protection feature, that also might be a factor -- not enough tracking! See: What happened to Tracking Protection?
For me the Washington Post website allows 5 "free" article views per day and then it asks me to sign-in or subscribe. Never read the Baltimore Sun.
It seems likely this is not a Firefox issue, but rather you are running up against a paywall.
