Firefox stops pop-ups unless you choose to allow them. Thunderbird, the mail and newsreader, blocks remote images in email, so they load much faster and without those annoying ads. Thunderbird also has a very good junk mail filter. Reka....... Ok. Now John and I have been with Mozilla for several years and several upgrades. My only objection to this change over is the split of Firefox from Thunderbird.. what names. I can not hit 1 icon and have the whole mess loaded. G We use Agent to read and post to news. I have not tried the new Mozilla, although I have seen the entry on my laptop. I know it is available. I would not do it any other way. The last upgrade from 'Mozilla' vanilla to Foxfire and Thunderbird I did and it was just a click on icon to download and update my system. Yes, you will have a bit more to do. You have to get your data out of IE before it blows up. It is not difficult. Keep playing with the junk and spam filters and you can train Thunderbird to delete to Junk 99% of the junk for you to scan for the occasional slip when it puts OGD into the Junk file. G Although some of those slips are on the too hot to read days. Good spell check too. It used to be a second download and an add on now it is part of the program.
