Nothing? In Mozilla, you check one box and forget it.

Did you not just get finished saying that Mozilla blocks pop-up scripting except for sites that you allow?

How do you allow them?  When you go there you put them in a "allow" flat file and from then on they're allowed for that site?

Same as IE.

As for the rest of the scripting IE tells you that there's script on the page that's being blocked.  Which is fine because scripting is over-used.  In my surfing I've decided around 90% serves no useful purpose and seems to be written by people who took a Introduction to Java class and thinks that makes them uber |_33t haXorZ.

There's only 4 or 5 sites I can think of, where I find scripting acceptable.

Ironically - though not surprisingly - the worst-scripted site on the entire internet is probably Microsoft.com.

lol.

Nope, no flat file. I am not sure, but I think the 'set it and forget it' box disables 'LaunchOnOpen' and 'LaunchOnClose' scripts--the kind most often used to run pop-up ads. But other popup scripts, like my favorite example at TVGuide, work fine.

I do not tell Mozilla which sites I trust, I merely tell it that I don't trust 'launch on open' and 'launch on close' popups, and it does the rest. Set it and forget it.

No.

What he said was the entire extent of your effort--check one box on your preferences page. That's it. No mas.

Mozilla knows which ones you request by your actions. It blocks all "OnLoad" pop-ups.
