Perhaps a link will help.
You'll see this if you click on articles and don't have a subscription, a modal of a kind will pop up asking you to "unblock ads." Clicking on the link[0] to unblock ads brings you to a page giving steps for "disabling Firefox’s native ad blocker," showing a gif for turning off tracking protection.

- baking 8y agoI have found that I can close the tab and then click on the link again to open another tab. It usually doesn't take more than three tries.
- Vinnl 8y agoI just now realise how great it is that Firefox is calling it "tracking protection". Many people (myself included) are fine with some ads; back in the paper newspaper era, they were a reasonable trade-off for cheaper newspapers. When they're also tracking you, however, that's no longer as reasonable. While asking me to turn off my adblocker sounds reasonable to some extent, asking me to turn of tracking protection feels malicious (because it is). They can try not to mention the term here, but to actually disable it, you'll still have to go into preferences and explicitly turn off Tracking Protection, not ad blocking.
- phjesusthatguy3 8y agoThis is the minimum what I would have expected from the OP. Because I use ad-blocking, and I went to washingtonpost.com and clicked on a bunch of stories, and have no idea what the problem currently is.
