[LUG] Firefox problem

[George Parker <georgeparker20@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a subscription to The Times and have been happily reading it in 
Firefox for a number of years with ad blockers on. In the last couple of 
months a problem has arisen where, with ad blockers on, a lot of 
photographs are shown at very low resolution and the readers comments 
are turned off. If I switch off the ad blockers the problem goes away, 
service as normal.

I have emailed The Times who say the problem is not with them. The 
problem is there with Firefox and Palemoon, but all works OK with 
Vivaldi so it looks as if it is a Firefox based problem. Duck duck go 
doesn't lead anywhere useful.

I do not like Vivaldi, or any other Chrome based browser for that 
matter. My problem with them is that when you open a link into a new 
tab, it does not switch to that tab. Why would you open in a new tab and 
not want to view it? In Firefox you can choose which it does but not in 
Chrome based browsers. You can open a link while pressing control shift 
but this opens a new instance of the browser, not really the same as 
pressing the centre wheel of the mouse and being there in your new tab.

Any suggestions on either problem please?
