Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56743

(Firefox :: Security, enhancement)

Description

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050728 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050728 Firefox/1.0+

The world has seen many security related problems with HTML documents containg
embedded iframes. Also, I can't remember a single site where iframes are used
for something except advertising. That's irritating.

Of course, you may argue that there's an adblock firefox extension but I do
_not_ want to depend on it in any ways. Also this extension works only on
per-site basis that means I can't disable iframes completely.

I think it would be damn easy to disable this tag <iframe> recognition in Gecko.
Like a lamb I sencerely ask you to implent this feature.

Reproducible: Always
