Oh come on now everyone knows what an adblocker is. It's right in the goddamn name: ad blocker, the thing that blocks ads.

Even if they don't know how to disable it they can just google it. And if they lack the skill to do that too, they couldn't have succeeded installing Firefox in the first place.

Stop trying to justify clearly unethical decisions because you used to like the entity who made the decision
