Have already read all those before - and learnt nothing. Simply broad 
and general blurb about <you-name-it>.

As I stated, I can control Javascript from within FF already - and 
without any add-ons. I can control pop-ups from within FF already.

But the add-ons I use give me CONTROL over whatever javascript/popups I 
allow or not allow when FF encounters them.
