All adblockers stopped working right... AGAIN

All my adblockers suddenly stop working right every now and then. YouTube ads and various banner ads appear and it doesn't matter which adblockers, settings or filter lists I use (of course, save for manually blocking ads which is either too difficult to do myself depending on how the ads are embedded or too time consuming because I have to keep refreshing a page until I get every possible banner ad). It happened last just a couple days ago and frankly I'm getting sick of it!

You should submit all crash reports. Mozilla can't fix something if they don't know that something is wrong.


You are using uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus Using more than one program to do the same job may cause issues. As a test, disable one.

I already tried disabling one. In fact I had one disabled when I copypasted that.

As for the crash reports, most of them were because of memory issues and forced closings from the task manager. Firefox can't fix problems on my end.

more options

Okay. Disable Everything. Then enable only one blocker. Restart Firefox. Any problem?

Then disable that one and enable a different one.

more options

Really don't see how that would fix anything when both my computer and Firefox have already been reset multiple times since this started happening.

This extension works by the way but it's specifically only for YouTube https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-for-youtube/
