Loading this site ends to a freeze (Welt.de) Topic is solved

[florin]

Trying to open this site results in freezing palemoon (using the version 33.2.1 64-bit) but older versions behave equal.

Fiddling with eMatrix says that the freezing is caused by the site's CSS.
If I enabled everything except the CSS there is no freezing, though the page is completely blank and unusable.
I don't have the means and knowledge to debug further, so I can't really provide more details.

Thank you for your efforts. Needless to say: I can load the site with another browser.

It seems something's gone awry with float:left; here's a Modify HTTP Response filter to remove it.

Code: Select all

[["/welt\\.de$/",["/^/",["/display:inline-block;float:left/g","display:inline-block"]]]]

There's also something in the Javascript that causes it to lose the page (didn't investigate that), so turn Javascript off, too.

Do not think it has something to do with javascript!

If I select to: Palemoon-Menu-View-Page Style-No Style

The freeze is gone, and the page will be fully loaded but the Page Syle is ugly.

The freeze is because of the float, but then there's a Javascript issue that removes the scrollbar (or at least, that's what I experienced in Basilisk with my adblocker).

@adoxa thanks for your support, now I got it and it works well

It's still freezing with the Modify HTTP Response filter given above.

If I modify the filter to

Code: Select all

["/welt\\.de$/",["/^/",["/display:inline-block;float:*/g","display:inline-block"]]]

…it works. Maybe there are other floats (right/left/wherever) that need to be covered, too?
