There *are* a few sites that firefox interpreted as advertising that helped me design custom T-shirt logos, caps, sweatshirts, &c!

But my main reason to responding to this post is because I'm wondering what the pros and cons are of installing Firefox plugins from the Ports tree, versus installing them directly from within Firefox itself. I assume that plugins installed from Ports are activated for all users and cannot be disabled by the user, unless they run pkg_delete. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can use the Firefox FlashBlock extension which blocks all flash objects, and allows you to run only the ones you want. xpi-noscript is even better IMHO. Blocks flash, javascript and all forms of embedded media. Will remember the sites where you *do* want that stuff, or it will let you turn it on temporarily.
