Ad Blocking Nag

    This is not a big deal but it is Mildly Annoying. Since I have nothing else to whine about, I will post this comment in the lounge since I don't see a more appropriate place for it.

    Once a day, when I first open Major Geeks, I get a semi-transparent box asking that I disable my ad-blocking software because MJ uses that revenue. I click the box that says "show me how to disable ad-blocking for MJ", then click the box saying "I have done so". After that, the box goes away, not to be seen again until the next day.

    The problem is that I already have ad-blocking disabled for MJ. I like MajorGeeks and want them to succeed and so have given them a rare pass on ads.

    I am using Firefox 62.0.3 with extension Ad Block Plus 3.3.1 and it clearly says "Disabled On This Site".

    Is this some peculiarity of ABP?

    Thanks.

    No. I have them set to accept cookies, keep until they expire, no third party cookies. I do have it set to clear history when FF closes.
