javascript:window.opener

Post by bfa »

since a few days it happens that upon clicking on a link a new tab opens and the first part of the link that appears reads: "javascript:window.opener" followed by any kind of link whatsoever. Only after that link was loaded completely I can ask adblock to block that site, however it's always another different site so it would be helpful to block "javascript:window.opener" from popping up instead and thus getting the problem already at the source.

any idea how to do so?

already reported on the bug tracker:
https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/4800

but ... unfortunately I guess it wont be patched (firefox is moving to an other addons system and the ABP code is going away in favor of the ABP code for chrome)

Sad times for users.

Any way to do it with Greasemonkey or Stylish?

you could comment on that ticket, asking again to be fix ... or use chrome + ABP
