Yahoo Mail - Blank page after moving email to a folder

Post by Avi »

Hi,
I believe that Yahoo Mail found a way to trick ABP. After moving an email to a folder I get a blank page (headers only no email items), clicking on inbox or any other folder results with a blank page.

When disabling ABP on the Yahoo Mail page, everything works fine. Tried it also on Chrome - same outcome.

Does anyone else is experiencing this behavior?

Thanks
Avi

try disabling all other extensions in chrome, keep only ABP, try again

still happens: press ctrl-shift-J (go into console), copy what you see and paste here in a post

Hi - Thank you for the prompt response. I have an old version of Chrome (long story) and I am not using it anymore. My default browser is IE 11 latest updates with ABP 1.4.

Follow your instruction with Chrome (assuming that you can't easily debug in IE), attached the log

it seems you didn't add correctly that filter
click ABP icon, options, "add your own filter" tab ==> add:

for IE, without waiting an easylist updating, you can prepare your lists + custom filters in firefox, do a backup (feature in ABP for firefox) of all filters in a file named patterns.ini and then replacing the patterns.ini file from ABP for IE with that from firefox
(you have to do these operations with IE closed)

ABP for IE localization:
C:\Users\your_user\AppData\LocalLow\Adblock Plus for IE

I added the filter again - no change. How can I attach a screen shot of the filters?

use imgur.com for uploading then post here the link

what ABP version are you using in chrome ? and what chrome version, eventually update / reinstall chrome and ABP
be sure you are using ABP and not other adblocker

Can we switch to debug in IE as I do not use Chrome (V31.0, ABP 1.8.12)

Thanks

-too old your chrome, and no ...we can't debug in IE
-for IE I explained what to do to update your filters in IE (using the filters prepared in firefox)
-You added correctly the filter but I guess it's too outdated your chrome

OK
I added your filter to Firefox and then followed the process of copying the filters to IE folder and it works great!

Thanks a million :D
