To the DUer who recommended Mozilla
Buried deep in a thread I can't find now.

Thank you!

I was being tormented by popups. At your suggestion, I downloaded it, and I love it. I'm hoping it will work on the "dating" ads and the George Bush ads too.

1. I love it!
Wonderful browser.

now if I could just get flash to install into it, which I can't get it to do.

Anyone have a suggestion?

2. Only one of many problems with plug-ins
I know people who hate moz. I use it for testing and to get around the IE anti- password in the url thing.

What I do use is Avant Browser. Absolutely great. Multi-tabbed, pop blocking and it is IE. an enhanced IE.

Free too

3. I already had Flash, but I went through Mozilla's link
And was able to install -- they had a special version for Mozilla.

10. Try copying the plugin file into the Mozilla plug in folder -
that's what I had to do to get Real Alternative hooked up to my Moz.

16. Whoa - it DOES make you do it one at a time...
I didn't know that, since I never, EVER use IE. :) Just tried it myself - and I see what you mean. That makes NOOO sense. Dunno dude, I'd google an answer for ya, but I don't have the time - have to drive across town to take a shower because my water heater went tits up.
