We allegedly now have an ad blocker. I see no such setting where it was announced to be. Settings / Browsing tab? Where?

Came here to send similar feedback. There is no option in Settings for AdBlock on IOS 27 Firefox 156. Despite the update description in the App Store broadcasting that this is a new feature available.

Things I’ve tried

Swiping the app close and reopening

Things I haven’t tried

clearing/resetting app data
restarting iphone

I noticed that only when I enable "Allow Feature Studies" and "Allow Remote Improvements" does the "Ad Blocker" option appear in Settings > Browsing. When I tried to reproduce this procedure, strangely, the Ad Blocker setting only appears sometimes. I'm using Firefox 156.0 on iPadOS 17.

It's iOS only, and it barely works. You're not missing anything.

Since you're on desktop, just install uBlock Origin.

I can see the option now after reinstalling the application! Not sure what the issue was, but I’m guessing I needed to enable the “Allow Remote Improvements” option as @unrealgratitude mentioned to accept the rollout?

Here’s Mozilla’s blog entry: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ad-blocker-on-ios/
