note:
you'll have noticed how many webpages are disbling the text selection preventing copy of text even with javascript disabled, and i don't like it;
while searching for a walktru i found many of those pages using this method and really
pissed me off today.
Since you can't find any solution for firefox and his derivates (can't find any html patcher addon) i came out with one for myself, if you are interested too read here:
get an hex editor, hxd is fine, close firefox, backup and hexedit xul.dll, find the text -moz-user-select and edit it, es. -moz-fuck-select and save; there are also other interesting strings too used for disabling functions but i'll check later.
This will fail automatic updates so you have to put back the original xul.dll or update running the installer setup; after an update you have to fix xul.dll again.
edit:
found that exist same other strings to limit users interaction but i cannot locate same of them.
common strings are:
-khtml-user-select
-moz-user-input
onMouseDown (disable mouse buttons, work only via javascript)
user-select
-moz-user-focus
those are used to not save images and documents in the cache folder, i already fix them time to time to get images, swf and other objects:
no-cache
no-store
we really need and addon that patch html on fly before rendering;
IE use different strings and i'll try to see if i can do the same (edit: cannot find the file containing it).
if you want to manage an hrml document once you save it on disc, search for -moz-user-select -moz-none -khtml-user-select -webkit-user-select (all browser based on mozilla/firefox engine) , user-select (all browsers), -ms-user-select (internet explorer), onMouseDown (javascript); you can remove or modify that strings, or find the string "none" and replace with "auto" or "text".
to Toranth:
thanks, i already used that method but it take time and i don't have it to waste; that's why i prefer those hard methods, often involving a debugger or other tools.
Desertrain in fact was one of the three websites that i found yesterday disabling many user features including text selection, i doesn't text in images for what i found, meanwhile many game producer do that.
