i do have one querry how the hell do i get rid of this google home page ive always regarded it as an overrated blown up hunk of nothing .

in all the years ive had a compt ive always used msn search bar.

for all i need when i first got google some years ago it was full of spyware and when i emailed them they said it had to be paid for .so ive never been there since .

now their greed has set in and they feature on the stock market.

it is a bit complicated for me at the moment .

but with your help i hope to keep it on

Are you talking about the Google search on the tool bar?

If so:

Right click an empty spot on the toolbar, at the top.

Click Customize, and a box will open with, all of the tool bar options.

Left click on the Google search, and drag it into this box.

Anything you want to add to the tool bar, just drag it from the box, to the tool bar.

If your talking about changing your home page:

Tools / Options / General / then change it under Home Page

Hope this helps you out, Marty.

If you have any more questions, just ask.

ok team ive got it on and learning.

ive played around with the customise .

and i think i have the rudiments of it but have along way to go.

i have to get round this google thing .

it seems firefox is an off shoot of google .

google is every where on the thing .

where the hell is mozilla or fire fox.

now this home page thing where do i go to make firefox my home page and leave google in the rubbish bin .

hey guys sorry for whining .

but windows has spoilt me.

has netscape got an operating sys or is it a browser.

i used to have it as a sys once but.that was so long ago .

i think they develope browsers instead of sys.

ok better go to bed .so i can have a fresh mind tomorrow.

thanks team hope to get back again.

Marty hang in there.

I don't know all there is to know about firefox.

But I do like it.

No popups, tab browsing, extensions, themes and etc. are great features.

It will take a while getting to know firefox after using IE.

Play with it and don't stop asking questions.

Be sure to close out firefox after each installation of an extension or theme.

Hello marty!

I never replied to this topic for some reason. Firefox is the best browser out there. I also have k-melon but don't use it. Firefox and those extensions beat any browser!

If you need some help operating firefox why not check out this Tutorial I wrote. I was reading your posts and thought maybe you might want to look at it. The whole thing took about 4 hours to write it should be detailed.

I hope this helps you learn to use firefox better.

ok team

success this time ive installed firefox three times so far in this install.is a bit better.

after reading the tutorials from cowsgonemad and hand plane.

it seems to have gone better.i still need to get to grips ith this home page thing.

but im getting better at it.

i installed firefox on my p3.

so i have plenty of sources.for me to p[lay with.

.

later i intend to install a quick browser on the p2

because it has less resources.

i need a small quick browser.

but that is in the future.

however thanks foe every ones input.

but ile be back

again thanks
