Saynoto0870 Firefox Search

Options
Not sure of the correct board, apologies if this isn't it.

I've created a Firefox search plug-in that makes searching saynoto0870 a bit easier/quicker.

If anyone is interested in it post a reply here and I'll post it with full instructions.

    ok,

    1 - download this file (the download button will appear after 15 seconds)
    2 - move the file to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins
    3 - restart Firefox

    Click in the search plug-in section and you should see:

    Enjoy, any problems post back.

    If needed I could do the same for the MSE Forum.

    just installed it on linux and it works fine - very handy indeed.

    my one minor gripe is that the icon is a wee bit too big :)

    Thanks, that's worked really well.

    Do have any idea how to get rid of the Yahoo search bar and the Active Surf Shield on Firefox, both of which I obviously said yes to at some point?

    the quick and dirty way would be to remove and re-install firefox.

    as far as i know though, firefox comes with the google search bar so it sounds like you might have installed it from somewhere else, and active surf shield is part of the AVG virus scanner software.

    i personally fine that once you install zone alarm free firewall you really don't need any virus checkers or additional security software - i've never had any on my PC.
