Disabling Javascript for individual Websites

I have finally isolated the source of unblockable ads that pop up on certain Websites, but not others. These ads originate from different sources, but many of them are Chitka ads that block part of the screen and can't even be clicked OFF. They just continuously block what you are trying to read or see.
When I disable Java on Firefox, these ads disappear--totally. Unfortunately, many other Websites that I visit utilize Java. So I am wondering, "Why can't we have control over which Websites display Java and which ones don't--much like blocking popup ads from certain Websites and allowing them from others?"
The only work around I have found, is to open TWO browsers: Firefox with Java disabled to view the sites that have the annoying ads and Internet Explorer with Java enabled to view the sites that require Java and don't have annoying popups.
Am I the only one having this problem?

  • Unable to delete cookies for individual websites

    Am running Firefox 29 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    This arose because a particular website was having difficulty setting a cookie (I think) - FF was giving the error that the website server was redirecting the request in a way that couldn't be completed - but with the caveat that it could be caused by cookies not being permitted. So I tried deleting the cookie for that particular website but FF seems not to comply. It is removed from the list of cookies in the dialog box and I can close the dialog, however if I reopen it the cookie it still shown as present. Doing it a second time doesn't help.
    I then found that this doesn't just apply apply to one particular website, it's any website that stores a cookie. Cookies are set to be deleted when they expire as I find it useful for some website to store cookies (I can't seem to find a whitelist which allows cookies to be deleted except for those on the whitelist, this in contradistinction to the blacklist which prevent certain websites from setting cookies at all).
    I've tried the following:
    (1) open FF in safe mode but I get the same result (cookie not deleted)
    (2) with FF closed rename the cookies.sqlite file out of the way. Starting then with a "clean" cookie file I still get the same result (cookie not deleted).
    I can confirm the cookie isn't deleted by quickly opening the cookies.sqlite and searching for the website string.
    I have tried setting FF cookie "policy" to remove all at the end of session and that works - but it also removes the useful ones as well. Does anyone have some ideas?

    Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

  • Disable prompt for "This Website wants to install the following Add-on: Java on Windows 7 x64 SP1 IE 10

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this-Didnt see any forum or I missed it for Internet Explorer.
    Here is my problem,  We have uses that are running a webpage that is trying to install an older version of Java, The workstation has the latest version of Java, BUT the webpage seems not to care, and wants to put a older version.
    Is there a way I can disable this:
    "This website wants to install the following add-on: 'Java SE Runtime Environment.....'.
    We have uses that will click on the Install button, and thus compromising the workstation.
    Thanks.

    Hi usgrcm,
    This is a security feature if IE and is not tied to whether or not you have a sight “allowed” to use an add-on.  It behaves in this manor to help protect you against malware. Disabling this notification is not a good choice .
    Have you tried to reinstall the Java software to have a check ?
    There is a possibility the present installation has corrupted .Please restart the machine after reinstalling the software.
    "BUT the webpage seems not to care, and wants to put a older version."
    We can try to install the old version to have a check.

  • How to disable javascript for testing

    hello;
    I have a Win98 with IE 6;
    I have done: Tools-->Internet Options --> Security
    --> Custom Level --> Scripting --> Active Scriptive -->
    Prompt ;
    then if I go to any site I DO get the appropriate pop-up
    telling me that I have scripting disabled; Good;
    HOWEVER, when I try my own page.htm:
    <html>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    alert("javascript is turned on");
    </script>
    </html>
    I do not get the default pop-up as I thought that I would;
    Instead I get my alert box, which I should not get if JS is
    disabled;
    any thoughts??
    thanks
    dsdsdsdsd

    I solved my problem:
    I was disabling scripting but only in the 'Internet' zone,
    whereas I was testing on my local machine, so the disable/prompt
    settings were not effecting my webpage;

  • How to disable html for whole swing application.

    Hi,
    As we can disable html for individual swing components , for example JLabel
    label.putClientProperty("html.disable",Boolean.TRUE);
    BasicHTML.updateRenderer(label,"html.disable");
    is there any way to disable html rendering in swing components for system wide / whole application?.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    Better use a utility method in the application like this
    public static void disableHtml(JComponent component)
    component.putClientProperty("html.disable",Boolean.TRUE);
    BasicHTML.updateRenderer(component,"html.disable");
    call disableHtml(Component u want to set html disable) for any component in the application.

  • Can I disable adblock for specific web pages?

    I would like to disable adblock for two websites, can this be done, or is the only option to have it enabled or disabled for all web pages? If I can disable it for two websites, how do I do it?

    Yes, you can tell disable adblock on sites you choose. Go to each
    web site one at a time. After the page has loaded, go to
    the adblock icon and right click on it. One of the options
    is to disable adblock on that site. Be very careful as there
    is also an option to disable on '''''ALL SITES'''''.

  • How to block javascript for custom sites?

    Sometimes I need to disallow javascript for some sites only. I can do this in Opera. Is this posible in FireFox?
    For example, I don't like the javascript at google.com when I'm searching for images because the images (thumbnails) are increasing size on mouse over. Can I disable javascript for google.com only?

    There is not a built-in way of doing this, but you can add that capability by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] add-on.

  • Disabling JavaScript on Access Manager

    Hi,
    We are testing the liberty samples that come with the access manager using an LECP-enabled client. During the single sign on process, the service provider redirects to the identity provider but after typing the login information on identity provider, the access manager responds with a few redirects and finally sends content that contains javascript. The client browser in our case does not support javascript. We tried disabling javascript for our client on the "Browser UA" screen on the "Edit Client Types" page in the Client Detection Service on Access Manager console but it does not seem to have any effect. Is there any other way to disable Access Manager from sending javascript ?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    does your client support meta-refresh tags? AM often uses javascript to redirect the user. You would have to go in and modify/create new template files for your client to work around it.

  • Monitoring Bandwidth usage for individual hosted sites on osx server?

    Does anyone know of a good way to monitor bandwidth consumption for individual websites hosted on osx server?

    Part of this answer depends on server configuration details that you haven't provided.
    Are you looking for 'bandwidth' as in total bytes transferred for any given site? or are you looking for a megabits-per-second network throughput calculation?
    Are your various sites logging to separate log files? or a single, unified log file?
    If you want a total bytes transferred calculation, then that data is stored in the standard log files, so a simple parser that adds up the response sizes would suffice - it will tell you that x number of bytes/megabytes were transferred.
    A bandwitch utilization graph (e.g. mbps) is a little trickier, though.
    Are your sites running on the same port, using name-based virtual hosting to separate the traffic, or are they running on different ports?
    If different ports then you may be able to implement some kind of network monitoring, but if they're all running on the same port (e.g. 80) then that doesn't work - you're down to Apache logging.
    The standard Apache logs, though, don't include enough data to calculate a bandwidth graph. It does include timestamps of requests, and the total bytes in the reply, but that's not enough - the timestamp is only accurate to the second, and there's no indication of duration... for example, a 1mb web page served in 1 second equates to 8mbps, but that same file transferred in 30 seconds is only about 273kbps.
    Since the transfer time is required to calculate the bandwidth utilization for the site, you'll need to amend your logging to include the transfer size. You'll need to enable mod_logio and add the %O (output bytes) and %T (request time) variables to your log format. Only then can you calculate the bits-per-second throughput of your site.

  • How can I disable javascript in Firefox 30 for all users on my Solaris 10 x86 box?

    I have a Solaris 10 box in a secure environment (no Internet) with Firefox 30 installed. I need to lock javascript in a disabled state for all users. I realize each individual user can toggle javascript with about:config, but that is only a per/user activity. I want to set the value of javascript.enabled to false for all users. Additionally, no user should be able to modify this setting.
    Is there a location with a config or prefs file that will affect all users?

  • How-to: Disable syncing of document library for individual users or groups

    Currently, as far as I know, disabling syncing for a document library is all or nothing - everyone with access can sync, or nobody can sync.
    Ideally, there would be an independent list permission, "disable syncing," which appears when assigning permissions to a permission level.  (Syncing is allowed by default if access to document library is granted, opposed to an alternative
    approach of having "enable syncing" which would set the default the other way).
    Given that this level of granularity is not provided out of the box (yet?),
    is there any way (SPD?) to disable syncing for individuals?  (Or to disable syncing for the entire library, then enable syncing to individual users?  Depends on who there is more of, 'syncers' or 'nonsyncers'.)
    * I know that syncing can be disabled across the board.  This is not an option.
    (2) "Open with Explorer" seems to be tied in with syncing, disabling syncing disables "Open with Explorer".  Is there a way to keep "Open with Explorer" functionality while disabling syncing?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable sync option in library.
    To disable sync option, and keen the open with explore option, we can use the JavaScript to achieve it.
    I have made a code demo below to disable sync option for a particular user, it works like a charm, you can modify it to fit your scenario.
    <script src="../jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
    Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

  • Why can't we simply have an option to enable/disable Javascript on sites again in the settings for Firefox 27? Suddenly my Gmail attachments won't open. Gmail.

    Suddenly my Gmail attachments have stopped opening, and I receive the message: JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again.
    I found a Mozilla support thread where it was explained that Javascript has been turned off for a while in FF. OK. Then there was a complicated answer about how you could still turn it back on by typing in a config code into the address bar. What? Or, you could download an extension to do that for you. Why?
    Please-- if you really feel like users can't be trusted, and Javascript must be turned off, at least bring back the ability to enable/disable Javascript on a per site basis in options, without having to know code. It's Gmail.
    Thank you.

    There is nothing on that thread that says Javascript is turned off by default. to quote:
    "In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
    However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on. "
    The UI checkbox to disable Javascript was removed, but the option still exists in about:config (which isn't code btw, it's just preferences), nor was Javascript turned off by default, in fact the opposite is true, it is enabled by default with the option to disable it made a little more difficult to find, as only advanced users need to disable Javascript.
    Please try to clear the cache and cookies for gmail, let's see if those are causing problems. [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]], [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]
