As you know, advertising always annoys Internet users. In addition, various sites, in pursuit of profit, clutter up the space so much that it is sometimes difficult to determine where is useful information and where is advertising. In addition, the abundance of ad units significantly slows down both the browser and the computer as a whole.
Ways to combat annoying ads in Mozilla Firefox

Note, however, that it does not provide 100% protection even against pop-up windows, the so-called "pop-up" windows.
First, let's check if protection is enabled at all, since it often happens that this useful function is already automatically activated immediately after installing the browser and you do not need to do anything.
