See reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/13ro31o/mozilla_sends_popup_ad_overlay_in_firefox/

Highly intrusive ad from Mozilla that prevents interaction.

johannesrld commented 1 year ago

Probably won't be needed, as it seems like they're looking at it internally (per support.mozilla.org threads linked on the bugzilla)

yokoffing commented 1 year ago

I haven't encountered this (yet?).

kevindwitama commented 1 year ago

To be fair I also personally haven't encountered it, but the setting was there in about:config in Nightly, and it doesn't hurt keeping it disabled.

... for you. It's maintenance burden for me if it's not needed. So, I've added it to Pesky as optional.

Mozilla backtracked on displaying the VPN ad, even though the pref in Firefox is still true.
