I found this forum page originally doing a Google search for this problem, so others may be able to enjoy the solution if one can be found. If someone can write a new javascript code here, I'm willing to try it. What we want is a new add-on or bit of javascript for the Grease Monkey add-on that retains the video player and content, but just stops the floating nature of the player as you scroll up or down the page past the player.
I can report that the simple add-on called YesScript toggle on/off javascript blacklist WILL stop the sticky player, but it unfortunately it also stops the video content from downloading and disables the comments section on Daily Mail pages. and found nothing addressing this annoying featue of some websites. I'm trying this on a new Windows 10 Lenevo laptop, latest Firefox and Edge browsers, haven't been offered the Creator's Update yet.īefore posting this I went to Mozilla's Add-ons page and did some searches for sticky video player, pop up, etc. I admit I'm not a master code writer, so I'll defer to you more advanced users. I don't know why he has it written for a click function when this is a scroll triggering issue. I tried user morat's suggestion above in installing his second revised site specific bit of javascript using the Grease Monkey Add-on for firefox, setting it for * but it didn't work. If you scroll back up the article and down past the player again, the same thing happens - very annoying. You have to stop what you're doing and click it off. Using a desktop or laptop computer on the Daily Mail website, for example, if you scroll down the page past the video player, which is usually playing a looped excerpt from the video as a tease, the player shrinks and moves to the right of the page and begins playing without permission. This is also known as a "sticky video player" (Google that term, no need to add the quotation marks). The problem the original poster asked is how to stop "floating videos" on a web page.
