Unfortunately, it opened a blank page. A Google search produced the idea of launching Firefox in safe mode, which disables all add-ons. That returned the long bar from a Search bar to an URL bar, but then the Search bar was still missing. Finally I looked at my add-ons where I discovered one added by Ubuntu (why?). I disabled it, restarted Firefox normally, and the URL bar was still there, but still no Search bar. However, after disabling the Ubuntu add-on the Customize link worked normally, and I was able to use it to add the Search bar. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
