Command execution

[amaama]

Hello,

we have extreme problems with criminals, who use the

"overflow: hidden"

command in their web page source code. We need a wait to completely prevent the browser to execute this command. How can this be done?

Thank you

There is nothing criminal about this css property: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... S/overflow. It just hides overflowing content, it's very useful and sometimes necessary for styling. The only malicious use case I could think of is to hide SEO keywords meant to boost the position in search results, but then not executing that property wouldn't fix that.

Maybe if you could describe your situation in more detail we could suggest other solutions using extensions, which would allow using upstream builds and make updating much easier. Because removing that property requires editing the source code and recompiling the browser, which would require you to keep maintaining a fork of the browser, reapplying that change to every new release. That change would also break a lot of tests I think, so that isn't trivial.

The latest things is: we received emails from criminals, in which that command blocks us from seeing the rest of the email.

Sure, we do know that the source has to be worked on, and be recompiled. But since the problem is important all we can do is to stop that stupid command execution. The command is utterly useless, anyway.

I don't understand why you think that it would be the browser's task to "correct" a poorly-designed HTML e-mail.
If all you are after is seeing the raw text content, then you can tap the Alt key (which displays the menu bar) then go to "View" -> "Page Style" and select "No Style".

However I would strongly advise not to take anything in a mail received from criminals as being truth! You SHOULD NOT interact with them.

If you are trying to disable css for a page, you can do that with the eMatrix add-on - https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/ematrix/

I installed that matrix-stuff. But I have no idea how it works.

This is the second time that programmers show that the have no clues at all about how a program is used.

What a shame.

Post disapproval for that reason means moderators disapproved your forum post for being completely irrelevant and/or pointless, e.g. if you were to just post a "?" and nothing else.
But if you're convinced as a result of that, that we have no clue what we're doing, then my suggestion is you go use a different piece of software instead.

Your arrogance it NOT a way to handle a serious flaw in your software.

Does the message "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker" tell you something?

As I said: We already encountered other "specialists" of the same kind.

You say stupid things, obviously due to your lack of knowledge.
The browser does exactly what it is supposed to do, according to the standards. If the author of the page has made it so that under certain conditions the message "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker" is displayed, then the browser will display it.
This is not a browser issue. The browser just interprets the page code as it should.
