Is it possible to disable a frame?

[FrankSMS]

Some websites play video and it seems to be impossible to stop (level2stockquotes.com) so I was wondering if I could use F12/Inspect Element to control how a frame is behaving.

* * 3p-frame block

guess which extension can use it. be specific!

3p-frame block? What is that? Not in about:config. Please explain.
I'd love to be able to just right click a frame and block it. That would solve this problem completely. I was experimenting with this with adblockers and right clicking a frame to disable that element. Sometimes I could do it but the one I used didn't work for this site.

You could manually delete the iframe elements in the top frame with the developer tools, but that's a pain.

I'm using a user script to remove frames except the disqus frame that needed for comments.

Top frame?
The frame I want to get rid of is the "TV" that plays incessantly. And the streaming ticker below it. It probably uses the most resources on that page. Its a great site for level 2 quotes but it sure drains your resources.

Try running the following code in the web console.

* open web console (ctrl+shift+k)
* copy and paste code into console tab
* press return to run

Code: Select all

var iframes = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
for (var i = iframes.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
  iframes[i].parentNode.removeChild(iframes[i]);

Sorry - this is unfamiliar.
What is "console tab"?
Shouldn't I right click/Inspect Element on the TV area? Isn't that what I want to block or are you blocking video anywhere on the page with this script?

[jscher2000]

Sure, try right-click > Inspect Element on the TV, and work your way up through the HTML "tree" until you find its ultimate container, then you can figure out a unique selector to target it with a custom script or other blocker. You also can right-click > Delete Node, but that's only effective until you reload the page.
