Definitely don't use uBlock Origin's zapper mode to get rid of elements on the page that are blocking your view.

Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.

I’ve used ublock for years and only recently discovered the zapper and it’s my new favorite thing on the internet

On mobile Firefox, two right swipes in the middle of the screen closes zapper mode. It is not clear or obvious, but it works.
