I'm on Win10 With Firefox 83.0. I cleared my history yesterday, and now when I try to watch video on CBS.com, I get this message: “This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors. If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page. Error Code: 111”. I have no ad-blocking software that I know of. Can anyone give me a clue on what to do?

Try turning Enhanced tracking protection off. That prevents known tackers (frequently comes with ads) to load. That's not a good practice for privacy, if you still want to view that site, go ahead.

I'm trying to watch a tv programme on UK Channel 4 Catch-up and am prevented until I turn off ad blocking. I tried turning off Enhanced Tracking Protection and it made no difference. I just want to whitelist Channel 4's URL to unblock for this site only. Can't find how do I do it - I've been struggling unsuccessfully for 2 days with this.

There is a manager exceptions option in protection settings.
