If you highlight a word, then right-click it, you get an option entitled "Web search for", it opens a new tab and does a google search for the word, very handy methinks

there's no Add engines option on mine? You mean the googlebar builtin to firefox yeah? what version of firefox you using?
Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2004 4:04 pm
version 0.8
there is a google toolbar already built in but it's the .com one - if i click on the G symbol in the toolbar i get the option to add more

If I click manage bookmarks I can sort them say alphabetically, if I open the bookmark windows (ctrl + b) the list is sorted alphabetically. However when I click bookmarks from the menu bar its sorted by dated added I think, any ideas how to get it alphabetically. In IE you just r click|sort by name.
On closer inspection of the Extensions list I found this http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#sortbookmarks

does firefox store cookies in the same place as IE?

but if you click on the icon in bottom-left corner of Firefox (only appears when it's blocked a popup), you can set it to allow popups from that siteChris wrote:That is probably because the popup blocker blocks all popup windowsMaThIbUs wrote:
