At home, stupid ads aren't such an issue (I've a limited internet range) but god, if I could get that at work??? Between slower-than-dsl internet due to our traffic and my antiquated browser, I HATES ADS.

Bwah!
So I let DH's blog get all clogged with spam for a while and Google identified it as an attack site. Now that all the spam is gone, how long will it take for Google to re-index it and take the warning off?
(Or should I just jump through all the Google Webmaster hoops and request a review directly?)

Adblock Plus. (But do see if the site renders in something first.)
Flashblock is another good reason. Those two extensions are my essentials.

I could talk about what I like about firefox all day and night. I have a whole lot of extensions that help me with firefox.
one of my favorites is foxmarks - where I can sync my bookmarks across multiple computers. That just rocks the house.
I also love ubiquity - which lets you do all kinds of things across various websites through keystrokes.

I love Firefox but ever since I installed 3.0.5, it crashes constantly. I'm this close to giving up and returning to IE (oh noes!). Anyone else experiencing this? I'm running Windows XP Professional v 5.1 (this is on my work computer).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I use Firefox 3.0.5 on XP Pro 2002 SP 3 and haven't had any problems....
What is 'v 5.1'?

Glam, why don't you revert back if you are having problems. I think you can go back to 3.0.4

This conversation prompted me to (finally) search around to troubleshoot. I found this article [link] and am currently running Firefox in safe mode to see if I still have trouble.
