e.g. I did.
For example, in Windows Firefox I can type a Google search term in the
location bar, but not in FC13. Is this configurable?
You can set keywords for your search engines and do searches like this,
google <search_phrase>
yahoo <search_phrase>
(assuming google and yahoo are the keywords for
ww.google.com and
www.yahoo.com respectively)
Or, you can hand edit the config variable
"browser.search.defaultenginename" in about:config to your preferred
search provider.
There are probably many more ways to do this, hence a separate thread
would be so much cleaner for the archive and easier for the next
person with a similar question.
I've got a basic font question, but will open a new thread for
that :-)
Thanks,
Alex
