  This is one of the things I like about Firefox over MSIE: You can
configure it not to let that happen.

  All my browser windows have a title bar, button bar, address bar,
status bar, and other controls.  Web pages are not allowed to replace
the status bar text, override the right-click menu, resize or move the
window, or otherwise dick around with me.  It's my computer, not
theirs.

  Every now and then I see one of those Trojan horse fake dialog
boxes.  They look laughable this way.  :)

  Anyone know if the newer versions of MSIE have adopted any of these features?
