Ads in google search (FireFox) all of a sudden

I updated to 56.0. It was ok but wasn't impressed by the look.

 

Just updated to 60.0. The look is much better however i noticed a huge problem (for me) - tabs at the end add on. It looks like it's been removed, so now when i open a link in a new tab it isn't at the end but to the side of the page i opened it from.

 

I searched and couldn't find tabs at the end so i guess it's not supported on 60.0.

 

Is there a suitable add on that allows newly opened tabs to be opened at the end?

CTRL+T, I use it several times a day...

Always open tabs in far right
It’s really annoying when a tab opens next to another tab rather than at the end of the tab cue where it belongs.

 

In the address bar enter:

 

about:config

 

 

then in the search bar:


browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

 

change original value to:
false

I think he'll have to add the boolean value to about:config, but yeah, that functions just like the poster described.

...or maybe I had added a few spaces to the end when I searched for it, making it pull up nothing. Oh well.

Ok i'm back ?

 

Firefox was fixed through the help of this thread. Problem is that a couple days ago it started happening with Google (Chrome).

 

I have the latest version i guess? 68.0.3440 (64bit). Just wondering how to fix the issue with Chrome?

Same as before, disable extensions one by one and see if it fixes the problem.

Video Downloader Pro is the problem.

 

Always seems to relate to video downloading / mp3 from YouTube downloading etc.

Hello,


The company which owns the extension wishes to make money from it, so they inject ads which they were paid to display, or get a commission on if you click through, into your browsing experience.  Since you (presumably) did not pay for the extension, this gives the developer a way to make money from your computer.

Interesting that i just opened this thread to read the replies and got hit with pop ups & spam

 

And no the blanked out section are not dirty websites. I just prefer to keep my forums separate :p

The 'ads in google.....' bit was further down originally, obviously.
