When I open my blog articles using Firefox, words are underlined and linked to ads. When I use Explorer, the words are not underlined and no ads appear. Already checked with my blog master because I paid extra to have no ads. Apparently, it is coming from your program. What can we do to get rid of this or do I have to change to another browser??? Thanks!!!! My blog is www.pattiannthompson.wordpress. com

Hello,

It doesn't happen for me. It could be the work of a bad extension, try running in safe mode and see if it still loads up ads on your blog.

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
