Instrusive Ad...
At www.lakeconews.com, I
see a pop-in ad that will NOT go away and stay gone.
I click on "get adblock.com" and see the following: "Firefox
prevented this site from asking you to install software on your
computer."
Below that and to the right, a drop-down menu appears: "Allow," and
"Not Now."
Sorry, but I do not understand. I am trying to be rid of an
annoying pop-in ad which appears when I read the "teaser" opening
of a news article. When I try to get adblock installed...and try to
lose the annoyance...I get yet another way to not get the
AdBlock.
The drop-down menu is not clear in what it states. I DO want to be
rid of the ad which covers a part of lakeconews' home page. That is
why I tried to get adblock to work as it is supposed to work.
I click on "Allow." "Get Adblock.com appears again with following
words: "Caution. This site would like to install an unverified
add-on in Firefox. Proceed at your own risk."
Clicking on "Firefox Learn more" does not help. Several steps away
from the initial "Get AdBlock," and I am still totally lost.
How can someone who is definitely not a techie get away from these
annoyances, please?

Hi Lea,
I'm sorry you're running into so much trouble installing AdBlock. Firefox is warning you that AdBlock is an unsigned add-on. That means only that AdBlock is not available in the Firefox Add-Ons Store. (We're working with Mozilla to have this resolved.) When Firefox tells you to "proceed at your own risk," it's safe to go ahead and click the final button that allows AdBlock to be installed.
Does this help?
