How to block specific news feeds on Yahoo with FF42

Post by Totoab57 »

Hi Gingerbread Man,
I was looking at a previous thread where you interacted last year with a registered memeber about that issue. Trying to block the same Dear Abby feed that appear under "news.yahoo.com". Following your previous response I looked on that "Dear Abby" page the Inspect Element for Firefox 42 on a Mac OX X !0.6.8. Once open, after careful examination, thee is no "li" element....as you described before. That means, no:" li>div>div>div>h3>a" could be found. I want to add that no: "data-wikiids or data-attributes" could be found either under Inspect element! So I couldn't try the blocking script that you suggested last year. So could you help me with a specific blocking script that would do the blocking job for that news feed or the Mtley Fool or other undesired news feed.? I thank you in advance for your help.

Try asking the question in that old thread; unlike some other support forums, threads are intended to be of general interest, rather than helping out one user at a time.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Hi,

I thank you for your suggestion, but the conditions aren't the same any longer, new FF version and the page Inspect elements does not show any "li" or "a" under "div". I will try to find the old thread. I will also MAPx to help too. I think he is a moderator and he has been very helpful in the past. Totoab57
