Try the XUL preferences toolbar at http://www.xulplanet.com/downloads/view.cgi?category=applications&view=prefbar This adds a toolbar to your browser that allows you to control images, fonts, java, javascripts, and pop-ups on the fly. It won't let you store a list of sites to allow or ban Java on, but at least you can control it to some degree. Dan
