I know this has nothing to do with Israel, Shaquille O'Neal, pandas, or mis-reading someone's signature line, but...

For the best protection when using Firefox, I recommend the following:
-AdBlock Plus: blocks all the advertisements on a site. You can set the options to temporarily allow a site or whitelist it.

-FlashBlock: blocks all the Flash plug-ins on a site. Very helpful for sites like Yahoo which use annoying, flashing banner ads to advertise semi-shady mortgage sites. The downside is that you have to whitelist every site where you do want Flash to run, such as YouTube.

-NoScript: blocks all JavaScript from running on a page, including redirects and other bad code. Like FlashBlock, the minor downside is that you have to whitelist the good sites, such as Renderosity, DAZ, Amazon, YouTube, etc. However, if you hit any sites that are suspicious, the NoScript automatically blocks any scripts.

I not only recommend these add-ons, but I use them myself. 😄

P.S. Some people report that web pages load faster with these add-ons since these annoyances don't have to be loaded or displayed. 😉
