Not only that, but I just learned that Mozilla is a perfect parallel of Netscape 7.0 ~ except for the nifty bit sjm mentions about the ad-banning. to Netscape for selling out! Take that!

And what did you expect from AOHell? For any who are interested, here's how easy it is to completely stiop poups in Mozilla:

I use the dreaded Norton Internet Security (hi Max) and find it keeps most of the bad guys at bay. Sadly, the main problem I have now is that if I wish to post to this site (for some reason) I have to disable ad blocking and privacy for a few seconds so that it allows the post through. Then ... if I forget ... I wander off into cyberworld and the nasty pop ups re-emerge. I wonder if there is any fix that Anu and his enormous team of worker bees could wizard up to save me turning these features off.

...completely stip pop-ups

Only thing is that several websites depend on pop-up forms, and you literally won't see what you're missing. Agreed that nobody should be totally dependent on Javascript and script-opened windows, but that's the only way to get neat little dialog windows and to have a button to close them.

Egad. This place is becoming a hive of Support Groups.

>hive of Support Groups

I suspect there may be a sting in the tail of this group - i wouldn't like a fish to get too close.

I agree. A lighter version of Mozilla, K-Meleon, offers a very nifty feature - it les one specifiy the domains from which one wishes to block po-ups, letting you allow some and block others.
