My Son sends pictures to me to look at. They come through my e-mail in a gallery. Ads used to pop up after each set of five pictures but these pop ups suddenly stopped. Having these pop ups during the viewing helps my Son with points in his job. Now since the ads been blocked it does not help any. Can some one help in solving this situation? Thanks

Is it Firefox blocking these 'ads' or the website? Do you have another browser to test this?

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}
