Ublock origin + firefox is no longer working for blocking ads on youtube?

2 years ago by mesamunefire to c/asklemmy

My wife and I have noticed that all our computers today have been showing quite a few ads on youtube. We have ublock on just about every device and Firefox on a majority of them. Anyone else having the same issue?

How long has it been since you updated uBlock? If I go about 2 weeks without restarting Firefox, they start showing up for me. A quick restart of FF and updating uBlock has always worked for me.

Let us know if it works or not.

Question: how do you update extensions?

I'm curious because I normally just update Firefox when it notifies me and normally reboot my machine once a day and I notice I never ever have seen ads with uBlock Origin + Firefox, not even on my phone.

Doesn't uBlock Origin update automatically?
