neither is possible currently. but it's frequently requested, and will probably become possible in the future... http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/votes.cgi?action=show_bug&bug_id=28586 > I'm not using junkbuster, 'cause it's slow and is having > a lot of problem with our firewall. junkbuster has known issues with mozilla anyway (not impossible, but better to avoid...) > Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks if you use in your hosts file the IP of a real web server (preferably one local to you) instead of 127.0.0.1, then mozilla will not get a refused connection (it will get a 404 error from that server) and you won't get the popup. you could even run some kind of web server on your machine and then leave it at 127.0.0.1. -- michael
