Script-disabling in Firefox

[Ed Cryer]

This page provides an excellent lesson in why you need some
script-disabling add-on with Firefox.
Without add-on an advert covers most of the page.
IE9, on the other hand, doesn't show the ad. I only use IE9 for
comparison and have no add-ons installed.

something big and sinister going on in the world.
Slartibartfast: No, that's perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the
universe gets that.

I feel a bit wary with one switched on, so I regularly disable it to see
the real McCoy.
This particular ad I can't move. It just sits right over the page and
cuts you off from the things there.

I don't know if that's funny or sad or something else, but it's surely
quite odd, and quite the opposite of how I view the situation.

I didn't see it, or I wouldn't have pointed to that URL, but deep linked
to the .exe or .html files.

FF15, by the way, Windows XP, Adblock + running unobtrusively in the
background. I don't see any of these ads.

Well, now that you all know about it, how about someone taking a look to
see if it can be moved? That was my reason for starting this. It seems a
bit heavy-handed to plonk an ad there without a way to move it. Maybe
I'm wrong. Someone try and win a gold medal here!

I tried. Nothing worked. So...

"...and the gold medal in intelligent Website use goes to Gene
Wirchenko. His brilliant solution was to realise any site that broken
should just be skipped. We have a report that Mr. Wirchenko seems to
have skipped off saying that anyone could do that and that it really
is not worth a medal."

Actually, the site works fine with NoScript doing its work for
me. You do not need the ad in order to use the site.

I award you Ed's special runner-up prize for "avoiding hero status by
choosing the easy route".

complaint against Islam doesn't imply a western Jihad" Cryer.

Hey, I did try allowing the ad to run and saw that it could not
be moved, so I moved (on).

Oh, right. I'm sorry. I misunderstood your previous reply.
I therefore award you the croix de guerre for services rendered in enemy
territory.

Sadly, that is too close to the truth. I find some Websites to
be actively hostile. One of my peeves is sites that require
JavaScript to be enabled in order to process hyperlinks.
