I beg to differ. Until recently, I was running Firefox without NoScript and frequently found that both and swap space had filled up, requiring that Firefox be recycled (at a minimum) or that Linux be rebooted. I keep my software up to date. With the installation of Noscript, and enabling Javascript only when I need it, those problems seem to be a thing of the past. At the very least, they are far less frequent. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
