Remove all advertising in Mozilla FireFox

Advertising is present on almost every page we open in browser. It appears before us in the form of a banner, a square window in the corner of the screen with animated characters depicting a naval battle, additional windows with fake news or pornography... Intrusive advertising is annoying and there is a natural desire to get rid of it. Next, we’ll look at how to protect your favorite browser from this. Mozilla FireFox. We offer you a method of combating advertising, which consists of two stages:

- Using Mozilla FireFox settings.

- Application of a special program.

Step №1

A large percentage of advertising is implemented through a JAVA script. Accordingly, to get rid of it, you should disable JAVA in Mozilla FireFox and disable pop-up windows.

To do this, click on the menu icon in the upper right corner and go to the “Settings” section.



In the window that opens, select the “Content” tab. Then check the box next to the “Block pop-up windows” line and uncheck the “Use jvascript” line.



In the new version of the browser, you can manually disable pop-up windows, and using jvascript is no longer a question.



Step №2

As economists say, demand creates supply - with the advent of advertising on the Internet, developers began releasing software to combat it.

Users have already become familiar with some programs: AdBlock Plus, Adguard, ET traffic, MyProxy, Ad Muncher.

To remove ads from Mozilla FireFox, we will use AdBlock Plus.

To add the extension to the browser, you must follow the following link https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/.

Then click on the green button “+Add to FireFox”



Now we go through a simple installation procedure and restart the browser. After that, a dialog box will appear in the newly opened browser window where you need to select “EasyList”.

After this the extension will start block all advertising on websites. If something suddenly leaks, you can block the banner yourself and add the site from which it was downloaded to the filter.

Manual AdBlock setup:

- We find an advertising object on the site.

- Right-click on it and in the drop-down list look for the line with “AdBlock Plus: block an image (frame, etc.).”



Next, a window will appear where we will add a filter to the image, a frame. First, select the filter type: blocking rule, exception.

Then select the template that will be blocked by the extension. Instead of an asterisk, there can be any name. As a rule, AdBlock offers the most optimal blocking option, so click “Add filter”.



Under the number “1” is the address for the filter that the extension modified, under “2” is the real address of the frame that is located on the site you are viewing.

To remove a banner from a page, just click the “Block” button. It is located in the corner of the banner. Instead of the name, you can put “*”. Then all such elements will be automatically removed during all subsequent surfing. AdBlock copes well with all types of advertising. After installation https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ extensions you will forget about banners, advertising sounds, pop-ups.
