if ie is crazy, chances are windows will go crazy. you can use firefox all you want.

but leaving IE broken is leaving room for windows to break. using firefox when ie is broken is a band aid solution

now about IE, comixion, what service pack do you have on you're XP installation? you want want to get windows up to date, SP2, and IE7 while its still a somewhat fresh install of windwos

SP2
but its IE6.
I'm waiting for my new XP Pro CD to arrive before I do anymore updates.

Doh, when i said flashblock, I meant NoScript

Although flashblock actually looks interesting

NoScript blocks all scripts on web pages, so you can select what you want to run
So people cant execute code from other sites (ad-ware / spyware) without you allowing it (things like Google counters, and other popular tracking systems)

Is this on firefox standard?
