Articles - Using Mozilla Firefox for ad free browsing
This article is meant for average users with basic computer skills. It is about blocking most ads (advertisements) in Mozilla Firefox web browser.

To block most web ads in Mozilla Firefox following two add-ons should be installed.
  • Adblock is add-on for Firefox which blocks page elements (images, scripts etc.) based on their URLs. It is effective for blocking many ads, because they often have similar parts in their URLs. Adblock supports also regular expressions.
  • Adblock Filterset.G Updater is add-on to automatically update filter lists of Adblock with specially prepared filtersets. When using Adblock Filterset.G Updater manual additions to Adblock filters should be done using this add-on, otherwise additions will be lost during next update.

There are no special computer skills required to install these add-ons - installation can be done by opening above links in Firefox and clicking on Install now buttons. For Adblock Filterset.G Updater also Suppress Update Message option and/or Don't show me this after automatic updates checkbox can be checked to suppress notifications about updates to Adblock filterset.
