From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don’t like that, this just paves the way to removing ad blockers, just like they’re doing in chrome

There is however a way of reverting this (for now?):

  1. Load about:config in the Firefox address bar.

  2. Click Accept the Risk and Continue, if the prompt appears.

  3. Search for extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled.

  4. Set it to FALSE.

  5. restart Firefox.
