Slight misunderstanding. None of these pages had a youtube URL or contained any flash "stuff" in it. Iceweasel just all of a sudden starts sending all requests to Youtube. It also occasionally sends them to Redhat, but not as often. The little Youtube favicon will show up in the tabs when this is happening, doesn't make any difference what the actual page is! I have installed Flash Block and Block Site so I will see what effect they have. Tnx! Dennis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
