Download and install it, then open it.<br /> Click on &#39;Firefox&#39; for the drop-down list of options and click on &#39;add-ons&#39;, then &#39;get add-ons&#39;.</p> <p>I fully recommend the fully, for privacy&#39;s sake, and at the very least. Scripts can be malicious and most ads are built using scripts.</p> <p>AdBlock Plus<br /> NoScript ( you may find it slightly annoying but it will also teach you alot &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;;)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; )<br /> HTTPS Everywhere ( this will force the site into a secure connection if the designers of the site had the sense enough to offer it...not all of them do..)</p> <p>That&#39;s probably enough to get you started and not be overwhelmed.</p> <p>Be aware that in order to help &#39;protect&#39; you, some of these add-ons will impact what you see, content-wise, on any site. That&#39;s because something like NoScript is going to block scripts, period. Just play with these add-ons.</p> <p>Also, when you fire up FF I&#39;d suggest you go into &#39;start private browsing&#39; before heading anywhere. Click on &#39;firefox&#39;, go to &#39;options&#39;, go to &#39;content&#39; and UNCHECK the javascript box.</p> <p>If a site demands it and you need it, like a bank site, just go back in and check the box. But beware sites that demand it when you&#39;re not even interested in &#39;interacting&#39; with them. If the site was designed well to begin with, they wouldn&#39;t require it.</p> <p>sorry if that&#39;s overload but we&#39;re ALL hooked into the same network when we&#39;re online and the more of us that browse as securely and privately as possible, the fewer opportunities for exploit against all the people using the internet there will be... </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/description-difficulties#post-275457 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 04:58:21 +0000 IdeaCollector 275457@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Sounds an awful lot like advertising pop ups which I have never encountered on the site. Do you have a pop up blocker that you can use. Firefox has one automatically. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/description-difficulties#post-275443 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:42:11 +0000 Outofverbs 275443@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>So I just registered and I felt I should write myself a good and long description, but lo and behold it was completely erased when these very annoying things kept popping up on my screen as I kept trying to write.</p> <p>It is extremely annoying, and one of them even took me off-site without asking. Is there something I&#39;m missing? Is it something I&#39;ve turned on or should be able to turn off?</p> <p>Best regards, Andreas. </p>
