363615 - Blank place in page where there should be content

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Annoyance Blocking, defect)

Description

[froodian (Ian Leue)]

STR:

1. Navigate to URL
2. Log in using user: caminotest pass: camino1
3. Click on the "clan" link near the top of the screen
4. Click "Clan Rumpus Room"

What happens: Large white spot missing where there should be graphics and links.

This doesn't happen with Firefox, and spoofing as Firefox doesn't help, so I'm filing it as our bug, not the sites.  This may also be a dupe of some core bug, so filing UNCO for now.

Sorry, should mention that I see this slightly differently on trunk and branch, but it's messed up on both.

This is 

a:link[href*="=click"] img,

which is one of Simon's original rules.

My vote here is WONTFIX unless we see evidence this is breaking lots of high-profile sites or is not really in use anymore as an ad fragment.

An href containing "=click" is pretty generic; I probably got this from the original floppymoose.com CSS. I wonder what would get through if we removed that rule.

I've been browsing for the past month with this rule whitelisted with no ads slipping through that I've noticed, though I haven't really been on the Internet that much.  Can we try backing this out for December's adblocking omnibus (bug 362330) and see if anybody else sees problems with it?
