Dear Colleagues, dear Mr. Vivirito, heureka, it happened again, now with a SHELL Oil Company advertisement.
You can see the effect in the attached screenshots 1, 2, 3, 4. Screenshot 1 is available immediately after the page opened; you see the window for t-online services on a blank area as a remainder of a popup window. Screenshot 2 shows, that even the advertisement to the right remains as a blank area, but the complete t-online Forum page is shown. This effect was new to me... I did not do anything to get it. Screenshot 3 shows the big blank area masking half of the t-online page, including the t-online service window. I tried to use the screenshot function to show the popup window masking the t-online window, but on selection of the screen shot function, the blank area came up, repeatedly. I could not catch the popup window as such. Thus screenshot 4 looks identical to screenshot 3. When clicking the advertisement area with the right mouse button, a window pops up showing preferences... (German Einstellungen...) about Adobe flash player... (German Über Adobe Flash player...) When this Adobe flash player window is opened, the screenshot function does not work at all; clicking on one of the selection lines of that window does not deliver any result or display. When launching firefox in the safe mode by a shell command firefox --safe-mode the advertisement of the SHELL Oil Company does not appear at all, and hence no more masking occurs. As a computing dummy I do not know how to disable adblock plus. I am very sorry and feel ashamed for that! Kind regards, and lots of appreciation for your kind efforts!
