Thanks, Thrawn.

I'm not even a novice, like way below novice.

So from my understanding, this is a flaw in the browser that is not fixable/blockable in the core itself, not even able to be implemented to be locked down?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around this.

Hi, barbaz.

May I ask how you got to the source of prettyloader? Another words, how did you find it?

I've been using JavaScript Deobfuscator for a couple days now, ran across another site using a loading element floater inside a flash player video, it shows a loading icon on video buffering, instantly blocking view of video picture.

How would I get to the source of that?

I'm not completely sure now, but the tools I used were Firebug, the Web Console, and a modified version of the (now dead) JSView addon. I would have started by inspecting the element where click triggered the cursor change, but I think I ended up just looking through all loaded stylesheets for unusual values of the "cursor" property.
You can get a mostly-working JSView here, but it's buggy and requires several fixes to work properly on modern Gecko.

It might be internal to the Flash object so I don't know if you can...
Javascript Deobfuscator turns out not to be generally the best tool for these things. Try inspecting the element with Firebug (unless Palemoon has Firefox's built-in devtools, then use that). If you can inspect it then you can zap it with Adblock Plus.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
