And it is a valid warning

Must look at opera again - havn't used it for at least a year...

each to their own - I like having the abitility to have 2 firefox windows open - 1 secure and one not, then have as many tabs within that as I need within each window..

Normally I have my Secure window containing tabs for banking and work (vpn/net connected), and the other window for insecure stuff like this site, dilbert, El Reg, etc.
