The thing I like most about FOSS is how, while not always being the most user friendly, it's never user hostile. Showing ads is user hostile behavior.

If everyone was going to just turn it off, they wouldn't have bothered putting it there in the first place. Clearly most or at least many users won't turn it off, by mozilla's estimation.

For the vast majority of users, the default option is the only option

I don't think most users don't care about ads. I've offered to install adblockers for my parents many times and they don't care. I was helping a coworker pirate something the other day and offered and he didn't care. shrug-outta-hecks I don't get it but I think we are much more bothered by ads then the typical user.

But if they didn't have ads there is no chance users would ask for them. Ads are only ever user hostile.
