Posted November 13, 2006 Get Forecast Fox advanced, even better than forecast fox. And I dont know where I would be without Ad Block Plus. Best. Ad. Blocker. Ever. If you are wondering heres the difference between AdBlock and AdBlock Plus - AdBlock stops the adverts from being downloaded. - AdBlock Plus downloads the adverts, but doesn't show them.

Posted November 13, 2006 Once you get Adblock plus, get the filter list from: http://www.pierceive.com/ You'll never see another advert again. Other than that ^ I only use Tab Mix Plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 15, 2006 NoScript Extra protection for your Firefox: NoScript allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content only for trusted domains of your choice, e.g. your home-banking web site.This whitelist based preemptive blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even unknown!) with no loss of functionality... Experts do agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript ;-) I wouldnt browse the net without it, most of the security problems caused by the internet are down to Javascript!

Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry to resurrect this, but this threads fits what I want to know. OK. Is there any kind of extensions that turns Javascript into normal web addresses. Like this site here. I want to go through and middle click on all of the t-shirts so I leisurely scroll through them all in tabs, but because getting to the pictures go Javascript it doesn't work. Any way to fix this?
