Agreed. I'm using Mozilla 1.7.2. It has a pop-up blocker without disabling
scripts in general. I.e., to use my home banking, pop-ups must be enabled,
so I'm able to exclude this page from pop-up blocking. 
By the way: Mozilla plays now GIF89a images with the correct speed, the IE
dosn't!

As far as I know, there is one neccessity to use IE: to download and install
automatically window system upgrades.

Have a nice day, Rolf
