MSN bans firefox right clicking
June 29th, 2005 | by Mike |
Surprise, surprise! Microsoft is acting like a big pussy again today. This time they are crying about Firefox use on their crappy web portal MSN.com (no link, on purpose). If after a long night of sniffing glue in your basement, you decide to visit MSN.com with firefox and you would like to read one of their insightful articles about how Jessica Alba’s hair is a different color in a different tab when you right-click on the link it won’t bring up the right-click menu, it will just send you to that article in your main browser window. To sum up: Microsoft put a javascript function that blocks right-clicking on their page in firefox. If you wish to right-click on anything on MSN.com, you need to go fire up Internet Explorer or, oddly enough, Safari.
Well this can just not stand. So if you are sniffing glue again tonight and will probably be visiting MSN.com later with firefox, then go install adblock and set it to block this javascript on MSN: http://hp.msn.com/scr/home/msnmoz1021.js
Thanks to Phillip Torrone over at the Make Blog for not only finding this problem, but also providing a fix; Leaving me to do very little work.
