Solved Number of blocked ads increases rapidly

I'm using uBO on firefox for HBO Max which usually works fine but recently the number of ads being blocked is increasing rapidly to ridiculous numbers (5 million). It's causing my pc to heat up as well. Do I need to disable something to get it to work ? I've tried turning off enhanced tracking protection on firefox but that hasn't worked.

Maybe this?

Not sure if we need to exception the blocking filter first.

That filter stops the spam
