Does Firefox have a Composer with spell-check with it like SeaMonkey-firefox does..?
Does Firefox have No-Script and Image-Blocker like SeaMonkey-firefox does..?

yes you can put AdBlockPlus and No-Script on firefox 3 and ff3 has a spell checker
but i have been building nightly releases ( alpha/beta source code) for mozilla- now Seamonkey for so long that i prefer using seamonkey over firefox .Although i have seamonkey , FireFox 3 and Konqueror 4.1.2 installed ,i run seamonkey most of the time

One thing I'm running up against, and don't know how to write it into software, is to add 40 blank icons to the lower tool-bar.. to customize with my heart's desire...

One would be Yahoo login data...

Another is Google login data...

One would be a sudden flashing red icon telling me that someone is ripping data from my hd.. and right beside it is a connection Kill button...

One would be new composer windows...

One to a new navigator tab... (The one in use now is a real pain in the butt.. Seems it's meant to bully the user...)

I'd like one to direct link to cookie management.. and others to cover the other managements.
Have you noticed that SeaMonkey's cookie management has a serious "script glitch"..? It takes about 30-seconds to come up... Any ideas how to quick-fix that glitch?..

I tried relaying my ideas to the SeaMonkey system as "cosmicbrat", but their half-crazed christian demons in it felt the need to badmouth evolutions they couldn't grasp.. so I now simply just boycott all mozolla sites... No sense in going where childish worker-bugs piss in your face...

install snort
One would be Yahoo login data...
Another is Google login data...

just use the gui and point/click and add them to the "bookmarks toolbar"
the one just above the tabs in FireFox3
or "personal toolbar folder" in seamonkey
One to a new navigator tab... (The one in use now is a real pain in the butt.. Seems it's meant to bully the user...)

did you uncheck the checkbox " hide tabs when there is only one tab"
if not then do so

form " Tools/ Cookie Mamager / Manage Stored Cookies "
it takes about 1 sec to open
If it is taking 30 sec for you then it is a hardware problem , most likely you do not have enough RAM or you are using a pent 2 ( 386 ) cpu
( my everyday box is a 8 year old dell 1 gig ram and a pentium 3 ( 1.9 Ghz ) and a OLD nvidia gforce 2 card )
and the cookie manager opens in 1 sec .( and this is while ff3 is running too)

I was checking out a Google-alert, and trying to post in the blog, when a no-script pop-up read, "click jacking attempt"... And I was about to give that person an honest new data filled post, which would have helped their project...

Is script how most hackers get into OP's OS's.. Is there a router that blocks that?..

Is there a way to redirect all incoming hack-attempts into a "zoo-bin", or faked "cyber-PC" that's full of junk that you want them to see, and to get all tangled-up in, like for I.E., say you put a download of a million pix of the same mooning image, like a pix of someone taking a vile squirtz-dump, or a pix of an abattoir crew slaughtering a steer, or a perpetual-loop of the same useless data, and some hard-software that locks the intruder's link to your computer, so they download gigs and gigs and gigs of the same crap till they pulls the plug on their tower..? Is this possible?.. We need weapons like this to attack hacker assholes (AHA's), as an alternative to all-ways only being the victim, forever in defense-mode... The Meek need to fight back hard...

Plus, I'm thinking on an e-weapon that assembles a bug in segments inn their OS, from the data they are stealing, that when completed flashes the attacker's PC with a too powerful of an inverted or distorted flash, to maybe fry the intruder's PC M-board, or at least its logic- board... Is this feasible..? A few years ago someone somehow in Yahoo's religious blog flashed my PC's system... It killed the mother board or logic board... They killed two computers on me... I suppose it was their way of "defending the faith"... An evil faith if you ask me, if it has to resort to violence to exist...

I suppose creating a sudden lightning bolt up their arse isn't electronically-feasible, except via sorcery... I'm working on creating a Sorcery lightning-bolt that splits the skin on the attacker's bum, but that's far-off from being a reality.. maybe in a month or two..?

I was checking out a Google-alert, ...
"click jacking attempt"

that was just a false positive seeing as there is a way to have a flash animation hide the real buttons and trick you into doing something you should not do

"Is there a way to redirect all incoming hack-attempts into a "zoo-bin", or faked "cyber-PC" that's..."

that is called a packet " black hole" or a "sandbox" or a "root trap"
take your pick they are all different so google them

as to the last one it is possible to add a Trojan to the out going packets but it is not worth it .
No cracker will bother to personally crack someone's personal computer unless there is a bunch of $$$ in it for them . the most common thing is for a bot to install it's self then post your data to a compromised server in the bot net ( not there machine) but someone else's

"false positive to trick you into doing something you should not do" ...

Do you mean the pop ups that you can't get rid of without clicking something on them, or clicking "atl-cntrl-delete" to eliminate the nasty from the desktop..? I understand that they might put their nasty behind the close-X... Is that a "false positive"?.. What ways are there to prevent them from ever happening on the screen..?



"packet " black hole" or a "sandbox" or a "root trap"...

Thanks a big-one for that.. I'll check into those as hard and deep as I can, and make notes and links that others can use in this topic...


If I were to setup another tower between my main PC and the router, or between the cable and the router, could that make things any safer if I did it a certain way..? If the mediator tower was there exclusively to catch bug and attacks, and full of all the available counter attacks, wouldn't that make my system "taste bad" to the attackers..?
I need something powerful, and meaner than what they've got, because I'm making all this Noise about how Money and Religion and Democracy are killing the planet, and how they are extreme parasites to humanity, and to all Life... Seems I'm upsetting a few big bad ones.. and they sometimes try with all they've got to shut down my PC.. and sometimes they are successful.. forcing me to unplug the infected -hd, and insert another pre-loaded one, and to have to go through the many hours to tweak the dern thing to the way I likes it...

I still can't figure how to make a single CD install everything the way it is on the hd right now, to a freshly formated hd.. . The W2k OS, and all the peripheral softwares of choice all loaded and installed, and everything perfectly tweaked, and clean, and running fast and smooth, just like it is now, just by dropping in a Nero made image CD, and slapping the mouse a few times... I've heard it can be done, and I've read all over hell that it's easy, but I think I've broke my easy..?
It's like, "Why did the chicken cross the road?...
..To show the squirrels it Can be done...
I try to cross the road, and Poof!@ the damn image CD's just do nothing, but lay in their slot like roadkill...

I figure if I had a CD that installed the whole tweaked OS, with all my preferred softwares just like I have it now, then I wouldn't give a damn if the PC gets hit by a bug... All I gotta do is format-C in the morning, pull the battery for ten minutes, reinstall the battery, drop in the system's image CD, slap the mouse a bit, and it's just like it was before the shits hit my fans...

You see, Democracy & Religion are based upon Lies, and they are hellbent on preventing the masses from knowing the truth about Life & Reality, All they permit is enough for the masses to stay alive, to be their slaves... and it's all about them making as much money as they can suck-out of the masses, at the expense of our quality of life, as this latest petroleum-fiasco did to shatter the global economy, and seriously damage what was left of humanity's spirit... Lettuce in out stores is now $2.89... I miss eating lettuce, on this bullshit $180/month pension, when I am the greatest scientist there has ever been... Something is seriously wrong with this world, in that I can't get a lab from humanity to give them reality...

I'm constantly bitching in this Internet world Media about it, and offering viable solutions to the almighty godly authorities, offering and suggesting viable alternatives to destroying life for money, by demanding that money be extincted, and replaced with something that is conducive to life and living and honesty and dignity and respect for the living... So you can see that I have a lot of insane-people fighting me and bullying me, trying to stop my noise.. and even death threats, but I push-on in spite of their insane-threats, because living on this planet their-way is like living in hell...

I need a way to either protect my PC from the great godly mindless bully assholes, or a way to easily restore the damages they do when they happen to get through to the PC's OS to do "format-C damage"...
Essentially I am trying to change this world to the better for all of us... It seems nobody cares... It seems like they're all blinded by the bullshit... It feels like we are living in an evolved slavery system, where the Wealthy constantly parasitize the Poor without mercy for their labors and their life's savings and their life support funds, making living on this planet a little more difficult and more painful each day... We've got taxes being taxed and taxed, when if you look at the tax-concept, it is immoral and demeaning and parasitic at best... The tax abomination makes each of us just into a bit of a collateral commodity... It strips the humanity from us, and from humanity, and eats it like a meal...
I doubt I will change anything, but I'm as good as dead if I don't try...



"add a Trojan to the out going packets... No cracker will bother to personally crack someone's personal computer unless there is a bunch of $$$ in it for them."..

A few very computer-knowledgeable American government Intel super-crackers are hitting my PC successfully on occasion... I would like to give them "a taste of their own medicine"... I am considering going deep into cosmic thought-processing to document the electronic weapons I saw there on that, and give the data to friendly software writers who also want Internet weaponry, but the problem is that these weapons would also get into the paws of the asshole-bullies and into the claws of the great demons too...
I see the bases of seven such Internet weapons, but I am holding them "in the closet" for now, until humanity wants to implement and use a new Internet, called "Fear", to do its world wars on and in, as the alternative to destroying living things for monetary and religious inquisitive concerns... They box and murder Innocents to prevent them from hurting themselves with dangerous earth herbal fun-drugs, and employ terrorisms to convince them to side with their insane religions... For now all I need is to learn how to make an OS image CD install the whole system like it is now...


What if computers were sold with such a CD, which you load all your likes on, and run a custom tweaker program, and it's all done and done.. When ever the OS so much as hiccups, you drop in the CD, format C, and return in a couple hours, and it's all done and fresh and clean, and ready to use... like in how I use SeaMonkey... Should SeaMonkey so much as flash or twitch wrong, I run all the cleaners, then uninstall it, and reinstall it in a couple minutes, and run all the cleaners again... In the Start tool bar I've got, in this order: Cacheman Memory Restore, CCleaner, EasyCleaner, RegScrub, CM DiskCleaner, Uninstaller, Defrag, Spybot S&D, BitDefender, and Defrag... I run them all every week, some daily...
Sometimes I run Irfanview, with all its option selected, to clean junk out of the system.. but that can be a little dangerous, like how deleting everything CMD finds is dangerous.. CMD essentially "rapes" the registry, sending everything back to square-one.. but it's good for custom reg "search and destroys"...

Does "Konqueror 4.1.2" work in Windows 2000 ?..


Some day I'm gonna find the time and resources to go for the complete Linux thing, but right now we're both just scraping just to survive living in this vile hell on earth... Hell is bashing us two young-60's from all sides these days, and still we don't know what it feels like to "have a life".. Everything about living in this hell on earth slams us to our knees every time we almost get standing... and running microsoft-stuff feels a little like "swimming in liquid shitt" the way that business treats people... Add it all up in my face makes me wonder why I ever got born..? and why didn't I just strangle myself with the umbilical..? If I had known about the condition of this human race before I was born, I probably would have...

Anything, and I really mean Anything is better than using IE. Any of the Mozilla browsers are good, ie Netscape, Firefox, SeaMonkey or Mozilla. Never tried Safari on a PC but it is good on my Mac. Has some nice features. Never forget than microsoft imitate not innovate. They saw how good and popular Netscape was and decided to clone it. Unfortunately they had neither the expertise or the background development which Netscape already had. The Russians tried to clone Concorde and look what happened to that, yup, it crashed just like most of microsoft does frequently.

I do repairs to my relative's XP notebook, and when I use IE on it, it is so damn sssssslowwwwwwww... The time XP's IE takes to connect to home, SeaMonkey could have connected to twenty websites... Does IE go through a microsoft rerouting clearing center with everything it does..? Microsoft's IE seems to put the brakes on the communication age... It's "thhht" at best...

Plus, I haven't had anymore OS killer hack-attacks since I dumped MMP, and that vile "produkey" backdoor by formatting-C... Seems there was no other way to get it out, but format... I had tried everything I could...
I maintain IE's and OE's connections blocked with firewalls... I suspect microsoft's IE, OE, and MP, to be full of intentional holes and bd's... I wonders who created the criminal-element "produkey"... "Produkey" defeats All your PC's security, like it wasn't even there, even gets through routers... If it 's in the hd, format-C.. and reinstall with the Internet connection wire unplugged from the tower... Then run the AVS on everything you install... Install a firewall that lets you set blocks and rules to all connections, and pops-up warnings when anything tries to connect, with the option to make a rule, like how "TinyPersonalFirewall" does for W2K and W98... When everything is installed, run "RegScrub, CCleaner, and EasyCleaner", then plug the Internet connection into the tower, and install the Ethernet drivers, if they aren't already in... Then config the Internet connection...

Me thinks SeaMonkey is the best and safest browser.. and the moment SeaMonkey holds-up a few seconds too long, or even twitches wrong, I click for the newest SeaMonkey download, and erases the last one... You can't beat SeaMonkey's latest features: "NoScript, AdBlock, Image Blocker, Themes, Add-ons, and new stuff every month... Plus, its compose being in the same chunk of software, and spellcheck too.. and that little net disconnect icon, for when you are composing, and don't want anything at the providers and in the forums reading over your shoulder, who has the capability to kill-crash your creation-roll on a whim... I just wish I could get SeaMonkey's Compose to save to desktop every 30-seconds... Some times my PC crashed the very moment I completed an extremely controversial statement, in a post that I could never redo in a hundred years... Seems I had some gorillas on my back, and in my face, when "produkley" was in this machine... If it's in yours, save your stuff, bookmarks & favorites, and format-C with a W98 install CD and boot flopper, then pull the battery for half an hour...

Some crazy bully decided he or she was gonna show me that I can still have me PC attacked, even if I don't run IE, after me posting: "I haven't had anymore OS killer hack-attacks since I dumped MMP, and that vile "produkey" backdoor by formatting-C"...

So there I am on the Web, and suddenly 50-IE windows pop-up on the screen, before I unplugged the router's power cord... I formatted-C just in case... Only took six-hours for the format and reload this time, while I played on the Web with the old Mac...

Seems you can't uninstall IE without losing integral parts of the Window's operating system... This one fact is why Linux is growing so fast... IE is full of designer holes that can be exploited by those in the know, to destroy any Windows OS on the planet on a whim, for sport and insanity...

Given that you can't uninstall IE without damaging the Window's OS.. does anyone know a realistic way to 100% block IE and OE from being touched via the Internet..? It's that.. or switch to Linux...

I've used Firefox 3, and have found it to be more unstable than version 2.X. I've also tried Safari. My hands down favorite browser, since I re-installed my W2KSP4 OS is Opera 9.6. Fastest browser I've ever used. Plus it has a built-in bittorrent client--upshot is the fastest downloads I've ever seen from any browser as well.

I'm with you there azraelle, Opera is a much ignored and very good browser.
Opera was the first browser with tabs, multiple downloads and it doesn't fill your disc with cached rubbish.
