Ok... when I set Firefox to "not allow" cookies, I keep getting pop-up
windows regarding that. It's easier to allow them, then delete them later.

My old Netscape is even better. I allow cookies but I set my cookie file to
"read only." Websites don't recognize that setting and they think they are
leaving cookie files...but they don't. Score one for using OLD software.
