It still pops up a message: "Sorry, the right button has been
blocked!" on some items with IE, but it now works on Firefox 1.0.4

Open http://www.harborfreight.com and right click on the generator on
the top left group on tat page. With IE I get the message, but I don't
with Firefox. Maybe they are making some changes. They created the
account with a period between names, but never replied to my E-mail
about the problems with the site.

I just looked at the source for the first harbor freight Web page and
it has some code to determine if its being viewed with IE.
