The browser that shows ads on its starting page? The browser that comes with "Pocket", that you can kinda hide but never turn off completely?

That's the one. The alternative is one that tracks every site you go to and sells that data for a profit. Easy choice in my book
Imo dismissable ads are worth it when the browser doesn't sell your data. Then again, I only look at the FF start page for like 2 seconds at a time
I turned off the Pocket recs in the settings once and never saw them again. Let FF advertise: at least they don't use app updates to quietly reset app permissions to default the way many others do.
about:config extensions.pocket.enabled to false
Or just delete the xpi from your filesystem.
All the ad crap is trivial to turn off.
