Another possibility, and one I've used for a while now because a blow it all away install of the next new version doesn't wipe it out, is to put your plugins directory tree out of the browsers own install tree, then symlink it to the real directory. To disable all plugins is then a matter of going to that browsers tree and blowing away the plugins symlink. Its easily restored. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
