Install the PrefBar extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/67148/>. The JavaScript checkbox (not the Javascript (Tab) checkbox) is part of the default PrefBar toolbar. I normally run with the JavaScript checkbox checked, thus with JavaScript enabled. When I encounter a situation like yours, I go to another tab or window and uncheck the checkbox to disable JavaScript for ALL windows and tabs. That stops JavaScript. After I close the offending window or tab, I again check the checkbox to re-enable JavaScript. I also installed the AdBlock Plus extension from <http://adblockplus.org/en/> and setup a custom filter to block the offending site. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam from that source. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
