I use Yahoo web mail, how can I block the videos that run after I empty my spam, or trash folders?

When I empty a folder such as spam on Yahoo mail a video begins playing in the empty folder. I do not want these videos to run when I empty a folder. Could malware sneak in this way?

Hello, you can try the Adblock Plus add-on :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=search

and the next filter: mail.yahoo.com/neo/video?channels=emptyfolder

thank you

I already use adblock plus, that does not get rid of these. The second link you included does not exist.

Hi, the second link is a filter in adblock plus to block the videos after you empty the spam or trash folders, it is used as a filter in adblock plus add-on.

thanks again

Sorry I did not understand your first message. Can you help set up the filter, I do not understand that?
