Can't find an add-on for blocking ads, etc. Firefox has gotten out of control

Hardly any of my add-ons work anymore.

I used to be able to block ads especially in my Yahoo mail but no longer can do that.

Most of my Add-ons have disappeared for some reason. Can someone give me some links to add-ons that will work with FF 55.0?

Firefox seems so bloated anymore.

Chosen solution

I usually suggest https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin for ad-blocking.

If you are having issues with add-ons appearing where they shouldn't, it may be worth a quick scan with malwarebytes.com

I had downloaded that addon but haven't had a chance to see if it works.

Thanks for your response.
