  • Itaintrite, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1This works well, but how do I set it so the ad-removed message doesn't show up everytime? It's just as bad as the ads themselves. Well, almost.

  • lordthor, on 09/04/2008, -0/+1This works very nicely, and your instructions saved me from digging through help files. Thanks much, and I hope this article reaches the main page. This was quite beneficial for my favorite new browser.
  • specialK16, on 09/04/2008, -0/+1What if you are actually under a work / school proxy? How would you run 2 proxies?
  • killhouse, on 09/04/2008, -1/+0Thanks this has been one of the reasons to stick with Firefox. Now the only reason would be that I CANNOT scroll DOWN!!! Rather annoying, but should be fixed in the next release I would think.
