It crashes a lot on National Review online and sometimes on Drudge

Probably your system is getting overwealmed as Firefox tries to fight off the pop-ups and other evil things.

It's a hentai game.....basically you gain points to date the girl and eventually....er....."do things" with her. Quite addictive, actually. newgrounds.com has a couple pages of hentai adult games and dating simulations....a lot of them aren't safe for work, though.

Does that mean you're going to stop using Firefox too? Mozilla ActiveX Project.

Before you attempt to split hairs, you can turn it off in Internet Explorer.

Interesting...though the webpage isn't an actual Mozilla website...so I question it's authenticity.

[Doohickey]

He links Mozilla.org and doesn't seem to be hiding...so I dunno. I'm not slamming Firefox, though. I'm using it right now in fact, and I use IE as well.

And no, I don't use this plug-in. If I want ActiveX or Flash, I'll use IE. I keep Firefox el-strippo except for a few of my favorite plug-ins: Googlebar, MapIt!, IE View, FirefoxView, Sage, ForecastFox, Dict and EditCSS.

gee, it's a plugin, genius. Not part of firefox.

The problem with activex disabling is that some sites are pretty much broken by doing so. I usually set it to 'prompt', which became a PITA after a few days.

[manwiththehands]

That's my take on it, too. Pop-ups are horrendous on both.

[Vinnie]

Speaking of pop-ups, I've noticed pop-ups on Firefox lately.
I thought Firefox killed them?

Had 2 yesterday.

I use Firefox almost exclusively.

There is a loophole that can sometimes allow popups through on Firefox. Click the link below for instructions on closing the loophole.
