When I load www.foxnews.com a popup box comes up and says to view the news to turn off my ad blocker, and then makes the site inoperable. I can't find an ad blocker so I'm thinking I might have a security setting wrong. I can view the website in Chrome with no problem. Any help is appreciated. Gary

Not on the homepage, but after clicking a story I see it. Is this what you're getting? see screenshot These news sites are the worst when it comes to tracking.

You can either go naked or tweak the add-ons until the site works if you're running something.
