how to remove adchoices from firefox
Adchoices has become an major online problem. Since it is not anything I asked for, I would like to remove it from my computer. I have conducted a Google search and attempted to follow the instructions listed on the Monzilla forum, but it does NOT work. How can I remove this nuance from my computer?
