i keep my history in this browser clean/organized, so it is getting REALLY annoying having it add garbage every time an FT page loads.

agree with above too, there are environments where i used to be able to use FT that i will no longer be able to, because of firewall/security. im sure we will be seeing a lot of similar postings from people who either dont have the option of or dont want to mess with FF ....... (and perhaps custom coding) etc.

im totally at a loss as to why a simple (ad) link has to autoredirect or whatever the hell it is doing...
