Thank you for your response. Actually, I know very little about how this operating system works. It's a long story. The person who set up my computer has now moved out of town and I live in a remote area where there is no one local who can teach me how to move around this operating system. Where do I open about:addons ?
I don't necessarily need to use the one that no longer appears to be operating except to provide you information. If you can recommend an adblocker that I should use with Firefox and tell me how to install it, I can go forward. Not having any adblocker is the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Tilloy <olivier.til...@canonical.com> To: RoseAngelLyn <roseangel...@aol.com> Sent: Mon, Feb 4, 2019 2:10 am Subject: [Bug 1814330] Re: My adblocker for the Firefox browser was removed in the last update Do you know what adblocker extension you were using? Can you open about:addons and check whether it's listed there? Does it say anything about the extension being disabled for some reason? ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814330 Title: My adblocker for the Firefox browser was removed in the last update Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The adblocker just disappeared. I am not tech savvy enough to find out why. When I checked my downloads, in the file system, it seems like some of them are missing.
