sorry, it is not the shift key, it is the control key.

Hi All.

Okay, as I've mentioned here before, just got a new computer...In IE explorer, there's now a pop-up blocker, though that may have come from my ISP, Comcast. In the FAQ, it says I can unblock popups from websites by clicking in the Information bar, which is supposed to be below the address bar. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it, nor a way to use it with JFW 5.1.

also, (sort of Off-topic) why is it that when I click "Turn Off Popup Blocker" in the Tools menu, it still blocks the popups? Don't get me wrong; I don't want ads and all that garbage...But Comcast's website seems to use popups when you click on certain links, and instead of opening a new browser windo, it just says "A popup was blocked"...Same with the "Open Link in New Window" link in Yahoo!'s search results. In order to open these links, I have to use shift+enter instead of just hitting the "enter" button. It doesn't seem to matter if I turn off the popup blocker, add domain names to the approved list, or even set its block level to "Low".

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
