AD BLOCKER INTERFERENCE DETECTED

I'm trying to view Livescience.com and this is all I get: "AD BLOCKER INTERFERENCE DETECTED, please disable or whitelist" how do I fix this? There's nothing in my add-ons or extensions to change this. Thanks!

I am using an ad blocker and had no problem with the website.


Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

I can see how hat would help, but I found my solution in my chosen search engine....Duck Duck Go. LiveScience had a bad rating from Duck, so I unchecked site Privacy Protection. Thanks for the advice anyways, who knows, I may need it later!
