Just do THIS (http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/index.html?utm_source=en_GB-et-more&utm_medium=et&utm_campaign=en_GB) mate!

Or just upgrade to IE7.0 as that has an integrated search bar alongside the address bar to that you can preset to whichever search engine you prefer, plus it allows tabbed browsing which is by far one of the best things ever to be used in IE :)

I had wondered whether I should click that upgrade button.

Do you recommend it then Latey?

It takes a little bit of getting used to and a smidge of customising but i havent had any problems with it, certainly no major bugs.

One of the good things on it is that its actively looking for sites that are trying to "phish" information off you, so it quickly filters the web pages for anything untoward, the downside of this is that it doesnt automatically trust some websites that contain things like flash movies, however its just a case of adding them to your trusted sites in the internet explorer tools.

It also has a diagnostic package that is alble to test (at a basic level) your net connection if it ever plays up and give some basic information as to where the problem lies :)

It certainly runs smoothly enough, i have been using it since it was launched and am quite happy with it :)

Over the years i have used Firefox and allsorts but for me its a case of better the devil you know :D

Lateshift. You are BIKE Mad man! Every page you have open is a bike forum!

You want to see his bookmark list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lateshift]

LOL :D they are only the pages i had open at the time :D

Some people like to hoard stuff at home, i like to hoard internet links, the theory is if i have had to search for something once i might need it again at some point and as they dont take up any space in the cupboards i can keep hold of them :D

I find if I have too many links in my Favourites its easier to use google to find the site again than to try and find it in my favourites list. LOL
