weird change to official White House website
Possibly they made this change as a disincentive against people going there. If you go to the site, you are subjected to the disembodied voice of the chimp talking about the economy. It's quite disconcerting...

1. Hee Hee -- Not in Firefox
Once again open source software and Mozilla Firefox's built-in ad and popup blocking save me from having to put up with annoyances.

8. Firefox rules
Not only pop-up blocking, cookie management, and an extremely friendly interface, it protected me from a smirky assault.

7. One of the best things about Mozilla
I do love to close tabs in Mozilla using keyboard commands.

Because I get to type CTRL-W.
