In Firefox, is there any way to allow popups from a single domain only?

I appreciate all the hoopla over Bike Week (that would be the one for bicycle commuters, not the motorcycle riders). It's great that there's so much recognition these days. But I wish these programs would support any kind of human-powered commuting, for all the people who walk, run, blade, canoe, kayak, or pogo-stick their way to work. It's all good, with exercise and the reduced environmental impact (though if one were going to use public transportation that runs anyway instead, then that argument is lessened).

I've watched the number of LJ accounts more than double, and yet the number of posts per day stays fairly constant, in the neighborhood of 200,000/weekday. All those new accounts can't all be RSS feeds and people who got accounts to read their friends' locked posts.

Reminder to self: get some 'forever' stamps, also make-up stamps.

Who names snack foods? "Cheese Nips" sounds like they'll bite back, or they're a weird flavor of hard candy.

The first Google hit for "rent-a-ruminant" is Livestock for Landscapes. Very cool idea. Of course, my first thoughts included some yard care company bringing sheep instead of mowers while they worked on the plantings around the grass, and a Bedu tribe migrating to the southwest to do similar sorts of things.

Yes. Go to Tools> Options. Click Content at the top of the Options window. Check Block Popup Windows, then click Allowed Sites. In that window, you can type the address(es) you want to allow popups from.

Thank you.

Now to figure out whether I can manage the rest of the site with my ancient home computer :-).

Also if it blocks a popup, it tells you, and there is a button to click on that lets you allow popups for the site.

Thanks.

It didn't seem to work that way on the home machine, but then, it's an ancient creaky box, and who knows what goes on inside? It ain't broke yet, though, so I haven't convinced myself it requires replacing...

Forever stamps aren't really a good investment. The new Postal law allows the PO to raise the rates indexed atan inflation rate (probably CPI) which is about 3% these days so even EE bonds are a better deal.

I wasn't thinking of them as a long-term investment, more as a way to avoid being caught without make-up stamps when they next change the rates. Also I'd not put noticeable quantities of money into postage...

I think the number you're looking for is active LJ accounts. Much of my friends list once posted, but no longer does.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Sure, but it does seem strange that so many people would get them to be inactive. Total LJ accounts increase from 4 million to three times that, and the number of daily posts stays constant?

I know I sometimes add to that by making friends of mine create accounts, or making them for them, in the hopes they'll read my lj which turns out to be way too complicated a task for them and they never even read nevermind post. Plus the double accounts for posting once to some forum you don't want to actually be associated with... it is an interesting questions where all those accounts come from and then they're never used...

I know that feeling of people not reading after all. I haven't bothered making separate accounts so I can post to a community I would otherwise not want to be seen as part of, though.

I have to admit, I find it ironic that this is an anonymous comment, given your first point!
