www.thefp.com can't see whole page (samesite problem?)

[mmouse]

Hello

When attempting to scroll down, the page flashes and get back to the top.

example of page: https://www.thefp.com/p/florida-just-ba ... grown-meat

I tried another article and have seen the same problem,

Tried with Firefox, what happens there is at the same moment the page flashes under Palemoon, a subscribe pop-up is displayed.
It is not under Palemoon.

Same thing happens under Palemoon 33.0.1 Linux and Windows 64 bits.

When looking at the Firefox console, the same message are displayed in the web console as happens in Palemoon, except that Firefox log displays also a bunch of samesite warnings:

Code: Select all

Some cookies are misusing the recommended “SameSite“ attribute

It flashes at the point where on other browsers the "subscribe now" nag dialog would pop up. So this is probably on purpose.

Well, yes, however with Firefox the nag screen does not actually block reading the article, it's a reminder that it's possible to subscribe: one can just dismiss it.
That's not possible with Palemoon since it's not displayed.

Not sure what to say, other than contacting the website and explaining what's happening, asking them to look into it. Especially if there isn't really anything useful in the browser console or what not; reverse-engineering web scripting isn't really something we can do in most cases.

It's something to do with this:

Code: Select all

                      if (pageHeightHalf < scroll) {
                          emailModal.style.display = "block";
                          document.querySelector("body").classList.add("lockScreen");
                      } else {
                          emailModal.style.display = "none";
                          document.querySelector("body").classList.remove("lockScreen");
                      }

Presumably what it's supposed to do is display emailModal and hide the body, but I'm guessing hiding the body is resetting the scroll position, removing emailModal. Quick fix would be to open the inspector, find myEmailModal, change the display style to block, then click "Maybe Later" (sets a 24-hour cookie). Or turn off Javascript.
