that is NOT the same as easylist and easyprivacy. they are both right there at the link provided in zep's post. Here it is just scroll to the 2 yellow lines and on the far right click on the add to ABP to add it to your ad block plus EasyList Subscriptions to get the latest dev build of adblock plus which seems not to have those issues go to this link and select the one titled 00latest.xpi which should be the 3rd line Index of /devbuilds/adblockplus/ after installing it in your firefox you need to restart firefox to activate it then get the subscriptions. you should be able to install that one then once you have that adblock plus installed go to that link I gave you for the easylist and easyprivacy and add those to it.

Jane: Thanks for your response. Yes, I have that checked and it -does- save the password info, but I still have to go thru the log in process, just don't have to re-enter the info. I was trying to find a way that when I used my bookmark for the site to open it, it would do an 'auto login' like it does here. I searched a long time yesterday and found out from some others on that particular site that the site only supports Firefox 1.5. So that answers that question. Shirley

No, but I found it as View>Status Bar. Your hint led the way though. Thanks! Where might one find 'menu' with Firefox...or is there one?

Yeah, sorry, I'm not expert enough to explain the difference, just pointing out that there is a difference. My banking sites work fine without Java. I wasn't implying your problem is Javascript, just that it's not Java. Javascript is not something you manually update, it's built into the browser and updates when you update the browser. Personally, I wouldn't rush to reinstall Windows if all the problems are in Firefox. First, I'd try the "reset" that you tried. If that didn't work, I'd uninstall Firefox and reinstall it. If that didn't work, I'd do it again but make sure it didn't leave anything behind. Make sure it removed my old Firefox profile, maybe even run CCleaner's registry cleaner to make sure all Firefox registry entries were removed. Then if after all that it still didn't work right... I'd consider reinstalling Windows. I'm not an expert though so I'm saying that's what you should do, just telling you what I'd do. BTW, every time I've ever reinstalled Windows, I dreaded it but ended up glad I did. Machine ran snappy new again. Sorry I can't help more.
