I don't think firefox could reasonably do this, just because a significant part of their funding comes directly from google.

And maybe more relevant, having this be default behavior would just cause the cat-and-mouse to get worse, when the majority of users are now blocking it with no effort, and the bean-counters notice the ad impression numbers suddenly dropping.

I'm not calling the OP a child, I'm saying the OP is right and the world sucks.
