How to Disable Ads on the MSNBC Video Player
While it's well known that advertisements pay for the content you want to watch on television or the internet, it can still be annoying to watch the same advertisement over and over when you're checking out a favorite show. If you regularly use the MSNBC Video Player and want to find a way to disable the ads that come along with every piece of content, you'll find a solution in a plug-in for the Firefox browser. Once you install it, you'll have to use Firefox as your Internet browser to keep blocking ads.
