My adblocker for the Firefox browser was removed in the last update

[Lyn Griffith]

The adblocker just disappeared. I am not tech savvy enough to find out why.

When I checked my downloads, in the file system, it seems like some of them are missing.

Do you know what adblocker extension you were using?
Can you open about:addons and check whether it's listed there? Does it say anything about the extension being disabled for some reason?

[Lyn Griffith (roseangellyn)]

Thank you for your response.
Actually, I know very little about how this operating system works.  It's a long story.
The person who set up my computer has now moved out of town and I live in a remote area where there is no one local who can teach me how to move around this operating system.
Where do I open about:addons ?

I don't necessarily need to use the one that no longer appears to be operating except to provide you information.  If you can recommend an adblocker that I should use with Firefox and tell me how to install it, I can go forward.
Not having any adblocker is the problem.
