Wow if ad blockers can work does that mean Firefox injects this advert?

Its not just and overlay but code added to the webpage?

I'm awe struck at the stupidity of this idea.

No it's not blocked by ad blockers, since this was not injected in pages but part of the browser UI (the "chrome").

I wonder why I have not seen the advert popup then. I run Firefox daily for 8 to 10 hours and I've not seen it once... Something must be blocking it for me.

As far as I can tell, it was run for a few hours and required Firefox to be left open and idle for 20 minutes before it appeared.
