Humm, question. Shouldn't you post this problem on a mozilla (dev|user) list?

Hi Jim, I use privoxy as a peer cache for squid. It works fine across the local network, and seems reasonably fast and flexible. My first proxy is squid, which then calls privoxy as its peer. All my local hosts use squid as their proxy, and get the benefits of using both squid and provoxy. The only problem I encountered is that you have to directly access privoxy to configure it using its web interface, rather than going via squid. Not a major issue really.

Hi Jim, I believe that Gmail *requires* SSL to connect, I don't think it's a privoxy issue. I connect to http://gmail.google.com, which seems to redirect to an https:// link, from there on it's straight in. Gmail also works fine using SSL and Thunderbird via my squid privoxy combination.

The site is OK, and even with the ridiculous URL redirection by samachar it does not open any popups (at least for me).

Re: [gentoo-user] Mozilla - pop-ups not blocked !!
No popups for me. I am using Firefox 1.5 and I also have the adblock extension installed. Looking at adblock it appears that anything from the url ads.indiatimes.com is blocked. Try putting this linein your /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 ads.indiatimes.com Or install these two extensions: For Firefox: http://adblock.mozdev.org/ https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136 For Mozilla Sute: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10application=mozilla https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136application=mozilla Just restart Firefox/Mozilla after you install the two extensions.
