Firefox zero day: You can't leave this web page
- fulldecent2 2y agoYou can't use the back button to leave a page
- MissTake 2y agoThis is hardly new... https://lifehacker.com/how-to-navigate-away-from-a-website-that-disabled-the-b-1849070714 https://lifehacker.com/how-to-navigate-away-from-a-website-t... I've always gotten around it by Long pressing the Back button and then selecting the page to go to. Bypassed your "block" as well... This is not a big of a find that you think there is. And I'm not sure calling it a "Zero Day" is appropriate either as it doesn't exactly cause much of a problem.
- fulldecent2 2y agoThat is a good workaround. In Chrome/Safari, this specific bug doesn't exist. --- I don't think this is a "big" zero day. But if non-working navigation results in someone getting scammed then it might be big for them.
- politelemon 2y agoThis is not a zero day, disabling the back button is a commonly employed technique on some sites.
- fulldecent2 2y agoAnd each of them are a vulnerability. This one here is not affected in Chrome
- kassner 2y agoRight click on the back button will show you a list with the previous pages. Looks like it doesn’t affect it.
- pwg 2y agoAlso does not work with uBlockOrigin disabling javascript (either of uBlockOrigin's global block or inline script block prevents it from working).
