Why? Mozilla block pop up ads without the stupid toolbar and it has integrated google searching

Because I like the google toolbar maybe? I don't like the integrated searching in the address bar, I like having the google toolbar where I can easily search groups, images, as well as a get a history. Also, the google toolbar extension for .7 Firebird doesn't have popup blocking, because obvioulsy it's not needed.

FF/FB does not have searching integrated in the address bar. It's two separate entities.

I'd imagine you'd be able to easily search groups, images too depending on the arguments you put in?

Its been a while since I've used the google toolbar on IE, but if " search history" means auto pop-up of past searches based on what letters you type, FB/FF has it.

Seems much easier to use the toolbar to me. I used that search feature in firebird for a bit, and didn't like it. I was happy to see an extension for google toolbar, and jumped on that.

Ok guys, fixed my bugs. Looks like you need to create a new profile aside from the default one to get a scrollbar and forward/backward buttons.

Anyway, FF is looking pretty good. The page load is noticably faster than before, and once a few options are turned off, you can strip it of all the useless new features. Good game Mozilla.

extensionroom.moz --- it's slow but it's there. i did the All_In_One .. and it's perfect. i hate browsing without mouse gestures.

Outstanding - there's a Googlebar that does almsot everything the Google Toolbar does in IE. Site is very slow but it's worth the wait.

Never tried mozilla before, I am going to give this a go and see what happens. What are the advantages over internet explorer?

There are a number of threads on the subject if you do some searching. This site will also give you an idea.

Dang, I was beat to it. :|
