Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions. 

I have Firefox 1.0.7 and I notice that the suggested options apparently 
only work with Firefox 1.5 and later.  So, what I'm wondering now is if 
there is any risk to installing the newer version of Firefox?  I like the 
way my current Firefox browser works and so I'm a bit hesitant to 
replace it since I've had many bad experiences with "upgrading" to 
newer versions of packages in the past.
