Chan Subject: Re: search box Thanks for your trying to help out. First of all, NO I have not set Google as my home page. Actually, have not set any homepage, since I don't want all that autoloading. Secondly, an I guess you did not know of this, you will have to turn on a given toolbar, in Firefox. Alt-V, then Toolbars, then Enter on the Navigation. Unless these extra steps, your steps will always fail to work. Just that you might want to make sure to include this, should you ever be asked how-to,, another time. Thanks again for trying to help.
