Have you closed down firefox? You have to close all your windows before the plugin can instal itself

I'll bet you firfox newbies haven't gotten around to figuring out 'Quick Searches' yet.


Example:

• Go to argos

• right-click the argos search box on that page and select Add a keyword for this search

• for name type argos quick search

• for keyword type argos

• By defauly firefox gave you a Quick Search folder in your bookmarks but you can save it anywhere you like (you'll never click this bookmark)

• restart firefox (not usually needed but just in case)

Now go to the address bar where you usually type urls and type:

argos radio

you'll immediately be taken to search results for "radio" from argos
and from now on typing argos followed by a keyword will take you to the argos search for that word

You can do this with most sites that have a search box

...and I know what you're gonna say

you can't get it to work with mse forum search

Go to the search drop-menu above and left-click so the cursor is in the search box
Cick the context-menu key at the bottom right of your keyboard (next to the windows key:



now you can see the add a keyword for this search option

The thing I really miss is the form filler on the google toolbar. I cannot find it on the firefox version. Any suggestions?

There's a link to an unnoffical firefox google bar here (recommended by google). It doesn't form fill but it recommends form fill extensions on that page


Glad - I'll suggest a few extensions in a few minutes. But everyone has their personal favs. so you'll get a lot of debate about which ones people can't live without

Image Zoom is a fantastic little extension. You right-click any image on the screen and simultaneously roll the scroll wheel. The image will get bigger or smaller (you have to tick scroll wheel in options after instal)

It's a great way to occupy yourself when reading replies here

and fantastic for those tiny pics you see on ebay

foxy tunes lets you listen to music without opening a media player. In it's options you just tell it what media player you like to use and from then on you can use little buttons at the bottom right of your browser to control the music (without even seeing your media player open)
