But you really should already have this line. First try the 'Filter' line and don't be so specific. Just enter plugins. Complete instructions that you might not need all of here. Just complete encase someone else wants to know. ------------------------------------------- Open Firefox type about:config in the URL line (were the site URLs go) press <enter> right click on the screen of config options (I click on a bare spot) look at the popup menu and click on 'new' highlight boolean and click on it type browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions in the popup click the 'ok' button highlight false and click 'ok' button. I do *not* know if you have to close and reopen Firefox but I do. ------------------------------------------- BTW A double left click on an already existing line will toggle it or offer you to enter a choice. Let us know how you make out. -- David
