    Mozilla to enable Click to Play for all Firefox plugins by default

    I been using click-to-play in Chrome for months. The whitelist sites feature is useful. Chrome exposes the white list API to extensions. I am guessing that the about:config settings might be available to firefox extensions, so someone can write an add-on with plugin+site specific enable/disable...

    learning a language in my free time... anyway to validate or get credited for that?

Try Hotmail's 'Options' (right-top corner), see if it has a setting to let you go back to folder/inbox after pressing Delete. If not then just go back to Inbox and mark the message for delete. Maybe search to see if...
