Add-on for Firefox...

If you use Firefox as your browser of choice, (and you probably should) then you should also get this add-on for it:


If you look at the bottom of the window, in the lower left corner, there's a little letter 'S' with a red circle and diagonal line through it. That's NoScript at work, and the text following that tells the present situation for scripts allowed or not. This, along with the add-on 'BetterPrivacy' are two that improve your safety on the web while browsing.

Please Note:
If you use Malwarebytes anti-malware (and it works very nicely) you will have a problem with this add-on (and will likely have to disable it) because Malwarebytes is heavily reliant on javascript to do its chores properly, and with this add-on enabled, that's not as it should be. Given the choice between the add-on and the security program, I'd opt for the security program, and disable that add-on.
