Hello Michaels,
I apologize for the delayed reply. Please don't interpret the delay as
a lack of interest--it surely isn't.

I hope you'll both agree there's nothing FoxyProxy can do about this.
Unless you have a striking relevation which could solve the problem
programmatically, I'm just going to add this to the FoxyProxy FAQ as a
"be careful" warning in an attempt to educate.
Quoting Mike Perry:
>See the problem?
Yes, I do now. Thank you.

OK. I will research this further and post my results, especially
regarding the frames/iframes question.

This is more difficult, but I've thought of an interesting way to do
this.
