You might try the "Web Developer" extension (plugin) It allows you to turn off & on things like images (in various categories), and javascript. You can just install it and play with the menus (or toolbar buttons, if you enable it's toolbar). On a per page basis, you may need to experiment with interrupting loading (ESC or X-button), change options, reload (F5 or the Chase-Tail button). You most likely (on dialup) do not have the flash plugin, I hope. Regards, ..jim -- KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
