stopping a java script inside a whitelisted website

Post by big dawg »

I use a particular website everyday and have whitelisted it as safe, however, it has a java script that keeps popping up when you hover over a link on the websites page that I would like to avoid since it obscures a large portion of the web page I'm on.
I can remove the website from the white list and it will still load and the java script pop up doesn't pop up when I hover over a link on the web page, however, I can not click on the links on the web page to open it either.
How can I allow the website, allow the ability to click on a link on the websites page, but deny the javascript popup when I hover over the link?

If you can identify the specific script causing trouble (maybe using JSView to help), then you can block it with ABE. Just ask if you want help writing the rule.

You could also try Configurable Security Policies (thanks dhouwn for pointing me to this).

Not sure what we're talking about here. A true pop-up can be blocked by Firefox's built-in popup blocker. (Tools > Options > Content.)

If you're referring to a menu that slides out when the mouse is hovered over it, yes, I hate those too. Not much can be done, other than complain to the webmaster. Good luck with that.... You can bookmark the destinations of those links, if they're constant, or copy/paste and save them somewhere convenient.
Any other solution would be getting rather high-tech.

The URL (address) of the site would let us see for ourselves, and be better able to help you than to grope blindly in the dark, so to speak.
