Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Add-on Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Wilson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have installed Ublock origin (for mobile version) and it work fine for a while.

Actual results:

Sometimes, for a unknown reason, the webpages start showing me ads.

In order to stop it, I need to delete the add-on and re-install it again.

Expected results:

The majority of ads should be blocked by default with the add-on Ublock Origin.

I tried to reproduce you issue on RC 68.2.1 and Beta 68.3b4 using a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Android 8.0.0) but was unable. Could you provide us with further information such as the model and firmware of the device you are using and some examples of the web pages where ads were not blocked?

Hi Laurentiu!

I am using a Motorola Moto G7 (Android 9) and FF version 68.2.1 as well.
My add-ons are: Ublock origin (the latest version) and Gosthery.

The web pages are:
uol.com
globo.com
g1.globo.com
tecnoblog.net
gizmodo.com (Brazilian version and international version)

I am not able to identify "when" it happens, because sometimes it happens out of blue.
When it occours, I need to remove the add-on and install it again. I don't even need to restar the browser.

It does not matter if I am using WiFi or mobile data. I am not using VPNs or other Android ads blockers (such as blokada or similar).
I am not using any kind of antivirus (I don't belive on it) or other protection apps.

Best regards,

WCCS.

Making this a P3 until we figure out what is going on here.

I haven't heard complaints about this lately and our implementation is far enough from Fennec that this might not be relevant anymore. If you see this on Firefox Preview please reopen.
