Thanks for visiting The Times of India. You seem to have an Ad Blocker on. TimesofIndia.com provides news 24x7, produced by over 1,000 journalists across India and the world. To enable this, we have to rely on advertising revenue, which ad blockers stop. Please turn it off in order to continue, or white-list The Times of India (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) or visit the HOME Page for a list of most important news of the day.

This is the error. But when I check my add-on there is no adblocker added or installed. Can you please help me resolve this.

I visited this website with a fresh profile and a profile with Adblock Plus installed, I didn't see this message.

Could you test with a fresh profile too? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. When you are in private browsing mode then Firefox can show a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar that some content is affected.

You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences > Privacy" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.
