They’re referring to the old insecure NPAPI plugins, not ones like Adblock Plus, etc… Incidentally, Adblock Plus is now available for all major browsers, including IE, just not Edge (which is a POS anyways)

Have you ever wondered, when you use adblockers to block ads of a website and see only the content, you are leeching content for ‘free’! Bet you never looked at it that way.

A browser with no adblocking capabilities is NOT safe, & it is NOT secure.

No amount of tightening down security will ever replace the security of blocking malicious ads in the 1st place.

In fact, ad blocking is 1 of the primary reasons to use Firefox. If they disable all plugins, bye bye firefox!!!

You can’t outlaw adblockers, because though companies want to make money off ads, it is illegal to force people to view the increasingly big, blocky, x-rated, bandwidth leeching, & oft malicious ads. People have rights, too! Not just money hungry businesses!!!

I am not embarassed to say that in truth, if people are given no options to disable ads, firefox will be eliminated from mine, & thousands of other computers.
