it did? i had dialogs popping up all over the place in 0.9.7 and .9.8 just the same... > Now in 0.9.9, I'm getting "The connection was refused when > attempting to contact <site>" pop-up.

How do I stop it? you can't stop those pop-ups. there is a RFE filed to change the pop-ups into placeholder pages, which should sort things out if and when it gets implemented - http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28586 as a workaround, what you can do is point the hosts entries at the IP of a webserver that exists (maybe you have one running on your local network, or run one yourself?) - then mozilla will get 404s back from that server, instead of connection refused messages, and you won't get the annoying dialogs. -- michael
