Firefox starts to show ads on the new tabs

Mozilla makes some silent changes to Firefox that do not excite its users after sporadic ad views have been reported.

Not only is it Microsoft that changes Edge but Mozilla has also started the changes, having started showing ads in new tabs, with its users reporting that it's happening on all supported platforms of work.

Such as reported in reddit, a small pop-up appears at the bottom of the screen and includes a link to the booking company Booking.com. And of course by clicking the "Find a hotel" button, users go to the Booking address.

It seems that these they only appear occasionally and only for a certain set of users, so there is a possibility that Mozilla is running a limited experiment. We have not yet seen such behavior on our personal computers.

Σύμφωνα με τις δοκιμές που έκαναν οι χρήστες στο reddit, τα διαφημιστικά μηνύματα μπορούν να σταματήσουν να εμφανίζονται, αν απενεργοποιήσετε τα “Αποσπάσματα” από τις ρυθμίσεις του Firefox. Αν και η επίσημη ενημέρωση για το είναι τα “Αποσπάσματα” αναφέρει ότι είναι ενημερώσεις από την Mozilla για το Firefox, και δεν έχει καμία σχέση με διαφημίσεις, η εταιρεία τα for her tests.

Mozilla has not issued a statement as to whether it is merely running an experiment or that is the expected behavior in Firefox 64.

However, it goes without saying that users are not happy with the ads displayed in the program and although they are allowed to disable the feature, the fact that it is enabled against their will may cause more frustration in the existing user community.

More official information from Mozilla engineers will logically come to us in the next few days, after the holidays.
