The google toolbar plugin for internet explorer is also very nice to block popups.

Is there any plugins for Mozilla to help me play some games on Yahoo? like MahJong or BookWorm.

Whaddayamean plugins for Yahoo? Do you mean like Flash, Shockwave or Java? Well, you can always go to the page with the game, click on the "plugin required" or whatever icon, and it will take you to the Netscape site to download the appropriate plugin. If you know it's java, just go to java.sun.com and get the latest runtime.

Or just download the full installers from Macromedia's site. Mozilla comes with Java IIRC.Slartibartfast wrote:Whaddayamean plugins for Yahoo? Do you mean like Flash, Shockwave or Java?

Well, actually the Netscape plugin search simply redirects you to those.Vertigo1 wrote:Or just download the full installers from Macromedia's site.
I think not.Mozilla comes with Java IIRC.

If you look in the Mozilla directory in your Program Files dir, you'll notice that it comes with the required DLLS to make Java work. Before 1.0 you had to move them manually.Slartibartfast wrote:I think not.Mozilla comes with Java IIRC.

Mozilla requires that you install Sun's J2SE first.
