Webpage says an adblocker is enabled but there is no adblocker on my browser. Help!!
A couple of days ago, I had received an error message from a website that I am trying to view videos on saying for me to disable AdBlock. However, I do not have AdBlock or any kind of adblocker on my browser or anywhere on my computer. So, it's really odd that this website and a couple of others are saying that I have Adblock installed. So, what could be making the sites detect that I have an Adblock program when I never had one on?

Then paste that information into the Reply box in this thread.
I think those accusations are generated by a script that checks how the page is loading. If some advertising related elements of the page didn't load, the script assumes you are using an ad blocker. Of course, there might be other reasons they didn't load, and the suggestion in the earlier reply may help uncover them.

Experimental Features
Disable Avast as a test and try again.
Disabling Avast did not help at all. There are still several websites that are saying that there's an ad blocker on my browser, which there is not. I've completely reset Firefox, BUT it's still saying there's an adblocker. I have not even downloaded one on my computer either.
