For webpages hostile to Firefox, try this extension.

Thunderbird is OK, but not nearly as solid as Firefox, IMHO. And it can
be user challenging for the newbie. Still it is more secure than OE as
you have more control over scripts and image execution. It also comes
with a Spam filter (which is quite weak, again MHO).

I have been using both and am very pleased. No spam and very few pop ups/

Thanks, Neil......that is the one that was mentioned to me. I assume you
are using it. I have been poring over the extensions to see what I need.
I will stick to OE for news & mail......I have it pretty secure with tweaks
and safe hex. And my ISP now has a spam and virus filter, which is pure
bliss....I was getting about 100 of them per day. I even stopped using
Mailwasher, grin.
Cheers.....Heather
