Mozilla 1.6.b

[Zscoundrel]

I have been using Mozilla 1.5 for about a month and it doesn't work that 
way.  It will block all unrequested sites and has the option to allow 
some - and it works very well!  I used the wifes machine yesterday 
(without blocking) to hit a site I use all the time and was rudely 
reminded about all the damn pop-ups it generates! 

But even better is the Email anti-spam!!!   In the last 5 days it has 
blocked 57 spam.  It missed 2 or 3 new ones and snagged one from a 
company I do business with that really WAS spam. 

All in all I am REALLY pleased with 1.5 except for the reminder that 
starts coming up to let you know that the software is over four weeks 
old.  It was the latest stable release when I loaded it last month.  My 
test machine is down right now and I use this machine for my 
'production' desktop.  I like to stay just off the bleeding edge with 
the machines I use to get things done.  Heck, I tend to find enough 
trouble in stable releases to satisfy my trouble shooting needs these days.

 It has a "Deny All/Allow Some",

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't 
for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
