And, no more "Russian Ladies", aka, "God-knows-What".
Thanks for all the help and advice, gents.
Try adding the Ghostery anti-tracker add-on too.
Can't say I've heard of or experienced that FF is less secure than other browsers - I've used it for many years without issue although saying that there was a problem with memory management at one time but subsequent updates have sorted that out.
ETA. There's two trackers on this page - Google analytics and Google Adsense both of which have been blocked by Ghostery.
