I use Iceape 1.0.9, which is a Debian version of Seamonkey. It is the

I have javascript turned off.
I have the option "Block unrequested popip windows" checked.
Doesn't work.
The application is simply insecure.
It can be useful, but it has insufficient security.
When I get those dialogue boxes, the only solution is to crash the
application (use the kill delinquent application utility), and lose
everything open within the browser.
It is the way that it is. Insecure.
Have you tried disabling JavaScript as suggested more than once in this
thread? With the PrefBar extension, disabling and enabling JavaScript
merely involves checking or clearing a checkbox.
There are just too many useful sites that Require JavaScript! If you can do
without
it, fine, but there are loads of banking sites that require it.
"Disable JS" just does not cut the mustard, except for the truly paranoid,
which you
are not, and worriers should simply stay away from a computer altogether ;-)
I previously indicated how to TEMPORARILY disable JavaScript and then
re-enable it via PrefBar, both very quickly and easily. Solving the
problem in the original post to this thread takes only two clicks of a
mouse on a checkbox on the browser window, two clicks in two seconds.
Yes you did, but consider that one only recognized that the need to disable
exists
after it is TOO LATE!
No, it's not too late.
What I thought I was saying is that it is not until I see malware trying to download
that I know I want JS disabled.
Generally, scripts do not know of the existence of the PrefBar toolbar
and thus do not suppress it. If it has been suppressed, it usually can
be restored by pressing F8 on your keyboard.
I have a "site nav bar" (and a 'sidebar':-) ) but no "PrefBar" in SM.
This makes it hard to follow what you say. And 'browsing' with the Edit|Preferences
GUI open is not really an option, is it?
Are you talking 'Iceape' not SeaMonkey?
If none of that shows the PrefBar toolbar, go to another browser window
or tab. If none is currently open, just "launch" the browser again. It
doesn't really launch; it merely throws up a new window very quickly.
Once you see this problem and also see the PrefBar toolbar, clear the
JavaScript checkbox. This disables JavaScript for ALL tabs and windows.
I earlier indicated not to use the "Javascript (Tab)" feature of
PrefBar; that disables JavaScript only for the current tab.
Instead of 2 seconds if the PrefBar toolbar appears on the same window
as the problem page, it might take 30 seconds to get a window with that
toolbar and clear the checkbox.
