PM won't display Windfinder.com

[leograyson]

For the last 2/3 years I have been able to see and use the maps at Windfinder.com via Pale Moon. But for the last week or so it appears to access the site, but doesn't display the weather map. It opens a page which shows the advert bar across the top of the page, but the map area is totally blank.
I have tried with all add-ons removed, but get the same result.
I have searched the web and this forum, but got no hits.
I can still access the site and zoom the map with Firefox and MS Edge.

Can anyone here suggest a reason/solution to this problem ??.

Thanks in advance, Leo.

Please report this to the website owners.
Their CSS has the map end up with a height of 0, which means it's completely collapsed and not visible. I manually edited the CSS on the live site to set a height and the site works perfectly otherwise.

If you're using uBO, you can apply these rules, as a temporary workaround (until the webmasters have fixed the issue):

Code: Select all

windfinder.com##.map-container:style(position: fixed !important;)
windfinder.com##.mapconfig:style(position: fixed !important;)
windfinder.com##.site-header:style(position: fixed !important;)

There's probably some other elements that needs repositioning too, but at least, the rules above seems to take care of the obvious ones!

Thanks for the rules.
Just FYI, It's also possible to accomplish this, independent of one's adblocker, with userContent.css (that's found in your chrome folder), or with Stylem :

Code: Select all

/*WINDFINDER.COM: DISPLAY-ISSUE WORKAROUND*/
@-moz-document domain("windfinder.com") {
  .site-header, .mapconfig, .map-container {position: fixed !important;}
}

In fairness, an advertisment blocking extension shouldn't be concerned with custom user stylesheets in the first place.

Actually they should. Style sheets are used to hide ad elements from content.

Even when the style is applied to arbitrary elements outside the purpose of hiding blocks containing recognized ads?

It's a tool. It might not be its primary purpose but it is a primary function of it. How you decide to use it outside of ad blocking is entirely up to you. Since most people have adblockers and quite a few less people have stylem or know how to deal with user*.css, it's a valid suggestion to make.

uBlock Origin is NOT an "ad blocker": it is a wide-spectrum blocker -- which happens to be able to function as a mere "ad blocker".

Ublock is a general content blocker that also includes blocking ads while members of the Adblock Family are adblocker's first and block other kinds and types of content as a consequence of blocking ads.

Thanks for the replies. Good to know the problem is not at my end..
I will try to contact the site and pass on the info above.
