tg1911 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Are you talking about the Google search on the tool bar?If so:Right click an empty spot on the toolbar, at the top.Click Customize, and a box will open with, all of the tool bar options.Left click on the Google search, and drag it into this box.Anything you want to add to the tool bar, just drag it from the box, to the tool bar.If your talking about changing your home page:Tools / Options / General / then change it under Home PageHope this helps you out, Marty.If you have any more questions, just ask.

martymas Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 ok team ive got it on and learning.ive played around with the customise .and i think i have the rudiments of it but have along way to go.i have to get round this google thing .it seems firefox is an off shoot of google .google is every where on the thing .where the hell is mozilla or fire fox.now this home page thing where do i go to make firefox my home page and leave google in the rubbish bin .hey guys sorry for whining .but windows has spoilt me.has netscape got an operating sys or is it a browser.i used to have it as a sys once but.that was so long ago .i think they develope browsers instead of sys.ok better go to bed .so i can have a fresh mind tomorrow.thanks team hope to get back again. marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
handplane Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Marty hang in there.I don't know all there is to know about firefox.But I do like it.No popups, tab browsing, extensions, themes and etc. are great features.It will take a while getting to know firefox after using IE.Play with it and don't stop asking questions.Be sure to close out firefox after each installation of an extension or theme.

cowsgonemadd3 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hello marty!I never replied to this topic for some reason. Firefox is the best browser out there. I also have k-melon but don't use it. Firefox and those extensions beat any browser!If you need some help operating firefox why not check out this Tutorial I wrote. I was reading your posts and thought maybe you might want to look at it. The whole thing took about 4 hours to write it should be detailed.http://s8.invisionfree.com/Spyware_Beaters...hp?showtopic=69I hope this helps you learn to use firefox better.
