Are you sure that you have to use IE for email?
No I don't. I guess I just IE for email more out of habit than anything. I'm going to start using Firefox for my Yahoo email from now on.
Go ahead and download and install the extension. Restart Firefox. Open up its options [there are only a few]. I have mine set so that the NoScript indicator is down in the bottom of my FF window. It automatically blocks every script for every site unless you left-click on the little “S” indicator down there and give it either temporary or permanent permission to run scirpts from the site. It’s VERY simple to operate. I can’t think of a way to mess it up.
Post script to #31:
Any time you go to a site (to FReep a poll or to view a video, etc) and it doesn’t let you vote or view the video, go into NoScript and give the site permission to run its script.
