Important announcement for Mozilla users: Many of you may have noticed that the forces of evil have found a way to get popups through Mozilla 1.0.6. This is actually an exploit related to Flash. However, there is a solution!

This will bring up all your mozilla options. 2) Right click on the page and select New>Integer. It will ask you for a name. say "privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins". It will then ask you for a value. Say "2". 3) Quit all copies of Mozilla. From now on, that particular exploit won't work anymore. Here's a URL you can use to test.

I could have used additional panels, but I didn't want to make a "super-sized" strip for such a simple gag. -ATW |
